Since today I know sure, I have nothing of that, so: I Feel Good (dur-dur dur-dur dur-dur dur!)  Ah yes, happy new year to all of you!
Ah, holy handgrenade!
There's a reason to feel good alright.
Glad to hear all is well man -------------------- "Sir, we are surrounded!

Wow - glad everything's okay, Hypercube. I'll chime in with my own 'OH SHIT I'M DEAD' story from the other night:I experienced something called a Scintillating Scotoma. It's also known as an ocular migraine, but no headache is involved. I had never heard of one before, so it had me a bit freaked out. Here's what some woman named Edith Frost says in her blog about getting them: "I had another ocular migraine, the first one I've had in three years. I was driving; we were on our way to the store, stopped off at the money machine and there it came. It was pretty mild in comparison to others I've had... only lasted about 15 minutes and was only in black and white zig-zags, no colors that I could detect. By the time I noticed it, the C-shape "porthole" was wide enough that I didn't have to stop driving, and by the time we got to the store it had expanded all the way out to my eyelids so I couldn't see it anymore." This is almost exactly what I experienced last night. My wife and I were hanging out watching a little TV and all of the sudden it felt like I had one of those 'flash blob' things you get in your eyesight when someone shines a flashlight in your eyes or takes a flash photo you. I closed my eyes for a second, but it got worse. It was weird. I had a small pulsing (it looked like one of those heat mirages you see on a highway in the summer - shimmering) and it was prismatic (lots of colors, unlike the woman I quoted who had a black and white one). It slowly got bigger and formed into a crescent shape. I decided not to fool around (since I had no idea what was going on), so my wife took me to the emergency room to find out if I was having some kind of stroke. Strangely enough, the doctor told me almost immediately that it was this 'scintillating scotoma' and that HE actually gets them. He said 'I get them every 6 months or so and they last for about 30 minutes'. That made me feel better because mine lasted almost exactly that long, and to hear that someone else had experienced what I just did was comforting. It was truly bizarre, though. I went to an optometrist yesterday and found out that my retinas are fine and what I experienced was truly a migraine, just without the headache. Woo! I spent about 2 hours the other night wondering if I had myself a brain tumor or I was having a stroke. GETTING OLD IST KRIEG!  Weirdly enough, I found out that my brother has gotten these (just never told anyone) and that BOTH of my parents have gotten them in the past. However, I feel good now, much as the captain of this thread proclaimed. Dur dur, dur dur. Dur. Dur.

Wow, what a story, glad you are doing fine both of you!Lately almost every night i wake up screaming that i can't breath, because i'm choking. After drinking some water i feel better. My throat seems swallowed at the time. Every now and then i experience some kind of cramp in my brain at night as if i had to think deep for hours and hours.
Pretty scary but for the rest i feel good. Dur dur dur dur dur dur dur (that is 7 times, not six times !!) -------------------- trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr
trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr
