Hey, <em>everything <\/em>I take makes me drowsy! The tests didn&#8217;t seem to tell him much more than the neuropathy has progressed in my legs, but still seems mild in my arm. I did ask him about the arterial ultrasound; he said there was no blockage and everything looked good. He hasn&#8217;t seen the films for the MRI yet though, and made a note to get them.

Found it very interesting the amount of time and energy the mods of the community take on their investigations. I understand how much time it takes; it was a long, drawn out process to get &quot;Lucie&quot; shut down. Speaking of whom, I popped into her two formerly MSN sites today (they&#8217;re now on another server; all of the &quot;adult&quot; MSN sites were moved there). No signs of plagiarism at either, but then, she&#8217;s likely to have other sites that we don&#8217;t know about. I hope we managed to impress upon her that plagiarism is wrong, it&#8217;s stealing, and we mean business when it comes to defending our materials. I mention this because of the discussion on plagiarism that&#8217;s been going on at the CTS forum. <\/p>\n<p>More later as the muse moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had the NCV and the EMG tests today.
