    • About Me

      ask me when i feel better. right now i'm not thinking positive thoughts. oh, ok....i'm self employed because i'm unemployable. I do computer stuff. I used to teach college and high school, but can't take crap from a 16 year old and respond in a constructive measured way when I have a headache. I guess that means I'm immature in my own ways. Lately I've been going to massage school, which is really awesome. One day after an unusually bad headache I felt that I would have no more motivation to get out of bed anymore if I didn't find a way to help other people in pain.

    • Interests

      Surprisingly few. I'm not interested in computers outside of work, although I spend most of my time surfing the internet. I'm interested in the opposite gender. My wife and I have never had any activities other than raise our kids and work on our house. We've always had a loving relationship. My interests should be fitness and losing weight! I enjoy free giving massages and if you live near me (Tampa area) or visit Florida look me up. It'll brighten my day and I'll be glad to make a new friend!

      Hi Dan. I'm so sorry I missed. I didn't log out of my account (watching horror movies), which makes the "Online" status a problem.

    • Close Epilepsy & Seizures

      I used to spend a lot of time on the phone for my business and started having episodes where I had a funny sensation in my head and couldn't speak for a few moments other than to say maybe something like "wait". My doctors decided it was probably epilepsy but said it was too minor for medication. Then one day I woke up in the ER and I've been medicated with tegretol since. Occasionally the minor seizures have returned and my dose has been increased.

      Treatments

      Tegretol Working / Worked
      time release tegretol works for me.
      Topamax Not Working
      didn't work at all for me. nice side effect was weight loss, which i needed. i tapered off of tegretol and onto topamax and the day i completely switched was pretty weird with partial seizures all day.
