    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.:o

    Everyone has a different view. Medicine, appropriately for this thread is as much art and science IMO (in fact I've been having a lot of half hearted beginnings of philosophical; discussions with myself about the separation of art and science...). This consultant is endocrinologist not a neurologist and new on the ''team''. I suppose I'll find out why when I go.

    Not known really, not meant to be this good :D I'm a medical miracle. :D:D. Its doubtful though, that I'll ever be normal, and...I have little fear about not having a pension of my own....when I beat the odds DH will share his. :D:D:D

    The problem is....only my GP really asks how I feel, which ultimately is the most impactful measure...not what looks good/doesn't...its how it feels and functions.

    Anyway...boring....:o

    Interesting. I know one side effect of Dysentry is having quicker reflexes.

    I see it like any thing what you lose in one way the brain gains in another.

    Much like people who lose sight or hearing (but this is no where anywhere near as serious) their brains sharpens up everything else to work round it.

    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!
    .

    Oh i know that, but just keeping an eye other the other warning ambidextrousness etc. I think if it does develop it is better to spot it early, even if it just means he has better hand writing.:D

    To me I think it is something you are borne being prone to have due to brain development. I personally feel if mine was spotted/dealt with earlier things would have been easier.
    But then I would not be who I am today. :) (who said annoying @ss hole)

    It only a problem, I am just a poor speller and writer. Everyone has some kind of defect, this one is obvious when I write that's all.

    If electric typewriters and spell check was never invented I would have never got to pass English :)

    As you say, everyone has limitations. To go back to the original topic, I think probably the most useful thing I learned during my degree was where my intellectual limitations were (and personal ones too). At school I'd never learned where they were because I'd never come up against them - university took me to my limits.

    It's good to know what you can do, but also good to know what you can't.
