Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / May 2004Not all posts are created equal
Hi By now it is becoming obvious: not all posts are getting through on all servers. This might not pertain to you, but you would never know because you would not see the posts you don't get. The last one I received on Outlook Express, my ISP home mail system, was two days ago. I know there have been posts since then. Now, this is no big deal, but I am going into the hospital Saturday for more crummy tests and I usually like to check in with the group once in a while for the usual sage advice. Some of you might remember how it is when you get Humpty Dumpty Head and Brain Fog: It makes it hard to hunt for presumed responses that may not be there. The big - and only - question is: what can be done to get the servers to quit clipping the postings while they pass all kinds of porn and pill messages? Please - if you're going to respond, keep it to the subject and maybe try to see if your response shows up on more than one news server like Google, Hotwire, Earthlink, or whichever ones you can think of. Thank you. Mark > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > usually like to check in with the group once in a while for the usual sage > advice. I've been in one hospital test, but I could move around and even leave the building if I wanted, but that was part of a study. I've been hospitalized for other things and it was boring, boring, boring. Wish I would have known in advance so the time wouldn't have been wasted. I could have caught up on some crafts, reading, writing letters to people, made out my Christmas cards in advance, and stuff like that. If you are worried about pain, well, I'll tell ya, IVs are definitely more comfortable than they used to be. I'm assuming if they pull your meds, they might put an IV in before that. Of course, the MRI and EEG don't hurt, but you already know that. What parts of this hospitalization are you worried about? Talk to yourself, Mark, if you are becoming apprehensive, worried, etc. about going in the hospital. Since we both have CPS, you know that our brain can blow things out of proportion, so keep telling yourself your brain is influencing how you feel.

There is no www control of usenet newsgroups, & even if there was, usenet isn't the only bulletin board styled network on the net. Which one would you like to start with? It's also my understanding through querying my own isps practices that it's up to your isp as to what usenet newsgroups are archived & what is not. This is a second post of the same response. This one is via google, the first via bigpond. I apologise if both posts register, but I don't beleive that bigpond will. Hi Thanks for the replies. Barb, I'm not worried about the hospital at all. I am a frequent flopper there. Thanks, but I was being facetious about talking to myself; I suggest you never listen to me or read anything I post. Linda, I got this after I posted the query about not getting a response (on the 21st). It was on a cable ISP in Manhattan, not Google or bigpond. I think the problem is with my provider. The messages appear on different groups at random or not at all. I am sorry to pester the group with this, but by posting , I can close in on the problem with an epileptic style stalking method. From what I can gather, the problem emanates from Outlook Express or Internet Explorer. Or the Martians. Not me. I have also received emails from other members of this newsgroup who have had the same problem. Stay strong. Mark > > > Hi > > > [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > the first via bigpond.

I have not recieved many responses to my post either but I figured I did something wrong as I am new to the whole group thing. I am glad to know it's not only me!!! > I have not recieved many responses to my post either but I figured I > did something wrong as I am new to the whole group thing. I am glad to > know it's not only me!!! The Group has nights where it's quieter than others. Your message will stay up on other servers in Australia and Europe, so there might be responses Later or Tomorrow from those timezones and others here who use Dialup and only connect 1-2x a day. I'm looking for an older post I did that included about 5 Ep. News sites. On the Ep. Foundation of America (efa.org) and possibly the Idaho website, there are links to either Temporal Lobe Epilepsy --> that's the Olde Name for it -- it's now included within what they call Complex Partial Seizures. If you find any sites or do any searches on Google etc. and don't get many hits on TLE Try Searching under Complex Partial Seizures -- within that you could also look at Auras or references to those. That's where the Deja Vu and Jamais Vu sensations turn up. G./ g'day amanda, you will find that many are not inclined to answer if the subject doesn't relate to their own personal experiences, but don't stop posting because who knows what sort of answers you'll get. pablo > I have not recieved many responses to my post either but I figured I > did something wrong as I am new to the whole group thing. I am glad to > know it's not only me!!! Pablo, Thanks, I actually did recieve responses but very delayed.

I am glad to > > know it's not only me!!! One of my posts didn't get through the first time I found this group,on that day I was trying to answer an Question that a woman asked,and mark thought I was lying to everybody,because the only thing the server did was copy the woman's posting. [later I found out it was my firewall] G-MAL |
