Is it OK to ask what happened, if you don't answer I fully understand.0 -

I'm in a bit of a bad mood about it because my meds have changed again, and loved the last ones.
Are these the metabolism ones? About a month back I noticed a slight change in your writing style (for the better) and you mentioned new meds plus weight loss + bigger appetite.
Why did they need to change them again?0 -
I think my general worry is his memory is virtually photographic. I just hope that does not mean what I am fairly sure it does mean.
I may be just being a overly proud first time dad but what he does is far to familiar (eg even down to being ambidextrous) but I am glad his nursery have spotted it and allowing him to learn and play with the older children.
I am sure it all evens out in the future but at the moment we are keeping one eye on it.
I wouldn't worry at all, Really - he just sounds like a bright little lad.
I have what I'd call a 'blurry' photographic memory - I can see it on the page but can't always read it - does that make sense? But I'm definitely not dyslexic. My brother does have a 'proper' photographic memory, and he definitely isn't dyslexic either.
I've not heard of a link.
Just enjoy your son - doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about.0 -

Yes, the GOOD ones. I dunno why
I was perfectly happy with them...the GP is happy with them, as far as I can see they've been all good. Been off them since saturday and head is crashingly sore (not sure if connected, I've been busy and stressed too). So I'm a bit disgruntled. I'm seeing the consultant in March. They had said they weren't brilliantly happy about my decision for that treatment plan, but GP was on my side.
In real life I've been getting more done, having full length days and feeling really great.
edit: have been a bit more airhead, and unusually for me I hope, quite short tempered...to say the leastbut I didn't tell any one that bit, so thats not why

Aww fc. Happy 22nd anniversary to you both. From other bits of info I've gleaned over time, yours in a very appealing example to what a successful and happy marriage (or 'long-term relationship' for those who are Labour 'anti-marriage') can and should be all about.
I forgot to reply as I have set my New Rules For FC123 Total success...I have to be in bed by 11.30pm from now on.
I can't take much of the credit as he is a very patient man but it hasn't been all luvvy duvvy roses....touched a few thorns on the way.
He got the 7 yr itch (and was able to scratch it as a predatory female appeared on the scene) but we emerged from that event stronger as it was a symptom rather than a rejection of me....life was just such a drudge at the time.
After about 15 years I got the 'I am fed up of being the family skivvy' moment and he got on my nerves a bit. Bit of talking and ranting followed by a few small changes and we sorted that one out.
The downsize and move sent us soaring up to a better place too.
22 years, due to work 'logistics', we live apart most of the week but only unil July......keeps things 'fresh' though..it's like dating again.
Apparently the next danger point is 25 -28 years when the kids leave home......but we have A MasterPlan for then.:D
My biggest top tip is loads of compromise.0 -

More physical energy then? Thjat sounds good.
How come the GP has a different view to the consultant?
Will it ever mend for good or is it not known as it's so rare?
Sorry for the Q's..I should wait until march/April really.:o0 -

Most Dyslexic have good long term memory to get past the shortcoming of their working memory.
It can also be a by product of the part of the brain being used more (I beleive right)
I think if you asked most dyslexics they will usually have a great memory I can rember things back to being 2 years old in great detail. (it used to freak my fokes out relaying things they had virtually no recollection of.)
I think NDG and single Sue are both dyslexic (or is it sue's son) and they both will vouch for the memory thing.
Check it out on the net.0 -
Interesting. I know one side effect of Dysentry is having quicker reflexes.0

I'm sure you know more about it than me; dyslexics may well have good memories, but what I meant was that just because you have a good memory, it doesn't follow you're dyslexic!
Lots of people I know with excellent memories are not dyslexic...
Whether your son is dyslexic or not, having a good memory is obviously a Good Thing.0
