I closed down public viewing for until I find a better solution. I obviously have to find other options, since the pics were meant to be viewed as part of concertreports.
btw, are you somehow into paganism? Some of your wording sounds familiar, not just now, but often
NP: oomph!

My brother recently had a couple of the headache-cum-eyesight-loss you used to have.

What? You mean he was cumshot blinded? And rahvin too?

stress-related, i imagine. i'm sorry. it's always a little scary, not to mention painful.
i'm actually not experiencing that, as of now, but it's not very pleasant in any case.
@marduk: if that happened, i'd certainly wind up with a headache.

Today is a good day, I studied a lot about the Russian Revolution of 1917, and spent a little time on these boards

In my brother's case, rahvin correctly said that it was a stress-related episode: one has a very strong headache, temporarily loses the ability to see, and in this specific case he also had short-term memory loss and was unable to write for some time. it was all over in about one hour and a half, he went to the emergency room for a scan, and he was sent home with some pills. it's not serious, in the sense that it doesn't do any long-term harm, but it's very painful and since it was the first time for him was scared.

I had pretty nasty vertigoes from stress, but it took me 2 moths to get over it (if I ever get over it completely). I hope your brother will be ok, these things can really teach you rest.

NF: quite good. i finally went to the doctor and got some antibiotics. i so much hate going to doctors that i always keep postponing it.. it doesn't make sense that i hate it so much.
apart from that my day was pretty shitty, but then it turned out fine (got some good news about a friend and a date she wanted a lot, chatted a bit with someone i hadn't talked to in a while, and got an sms from someone else).

@marduk: in my case, no short-term memory loss occurred. the symptoms start out as partial blindness on one side - surprisingly not directly connected to a specific eye, meaning that even if you close one, the viewing area is still affected the same way - which lasts for 1-2 hours. then you get a strong migraine over the eye opposite to the side you were blinded before. and that lasts about 12 hours. i used to have rather frequent episodes of it when i was 16-18, enough to suggest some sort of adolescence/development related issue. then they stopped and only reappered in full form - albeit shortly - about 2 years ago, while i was going through a particularly rough time. they've stopped again since then, although i have other eyesight-related problems (which i didn't use to), the odd blind spot after physical exercise, and of course the sleeping disorders that we've all come to know and love.

fireangel: If you mean an official card-carrying member or something like that, no.
Not even an unofficial member afaik. -isms are bs, babe. ;-)As for the familiar wording you haven't noted, I'm not sure how to respond. But it is unfortunate that it has raised red flags for you and resulted in a misconception.
rahvin: Sounds like a dreadful condition. Glad it's not so severe now. Also, Q: Have you always had sleep issues or is it more of an adult-years thing?

i guess you could say the latter. i seem to remember it started back in late 1998, when i was 21. i've never been one to sleep late in the morning or go to bed early at night, though, and my parents tell me even when i was a baby they sometimes had to resort to weird maneuvers to put me to sleep: for instance, i was - and i still am - mesmerized by the sense of motion, so they would drive me around in their car until i fell asleep and then take me back home. i still feel like i can't keep my eyes open whenever i'm lulled by certain kinds of movements, such as - and i know it sounds creepy - strong turbulence when on an airplane.

Didnt get that, solly!
@rahvin: uff, man, I am glad its more or less ok now. I like sleeping, although my sleep is never sound, any sound can wake me up. Sleeping disorders usually mean that Im depressed - it happened only during the aforementioned illness, thank god - I woke up at 3am, stomach on fire and totally scared. I am glad I can sleep for 9, sometimes 11 hours, its really refreshing.

It was not unfortunate and it raised green flags
*Hippie-Goth
Peace & Karma-Queen* Edit: For a repeated time, I made the observation at ebay, that people winning auctions with metal-stuff pay really quickly, often the next day, and those who buy classical CDs, take ages (not that I wait ages. I wait the one week and if I still haven´t even gotten any response at all, they´ll get a reminder, and after a few days more without anything happening, a warning, and 7 days later red). But it doesn´t really fit the public perception of "chaotic metalhead" and "opera-intellectual".

i have always had sleep troubles... when i was a baby, i would never take a nap, and i could never fall asleep quickly and could never sleep in in the morning... My grandmother had to go wandering with me or rock the thing in which babies lay when they cant walk yet (dont know the english word for that), because motion also makes me fell asleep (ie car, boat on a calm river- however strong motions cant get me asleep). Now it is a bit easier for me to fell asleep, and cant wake up early as before. But if I have too many things to think to or when i am stressed, I cant sleep at all, or only a few hours.

i have a notorious phobia of moths, and you misspelled months up there.
my usual, everything-is-just-fine night alone consists of 2-4 hours of sleep. it gets worse when i'm agitated or stressed. i say "alone" because sleeping with other people in the room (that's for you dirty minds out there!) helps, to the point where i can sometimes get 6-7 hours of non-continuous sleep. anything above that has ceased to happen since i don't remember when.
i'm having broken sleep too, but that's just because i drink too much. i wake at 3am feeling queasy, then try to go back to sleep for about one hour, then i wake at 8am thinking i have to go to work and feeling even more queasy. hah.
