Glad to see I'm not the only one who considers it this way - it seems so much more dealable with like that.

I pass out in the presence of OHP and slide projectors or whenever I'm in the car for more than about 20mins. We've tracked it down to the noise - a fan running does exactly the same to me.

I get my CT scan next week, the neurologist reckons I fail to get enough REM sleep at night and it gets randomly triggered during the day - without a stimulus I can get flashes lasting a few seconds often triggered off my memories, with a stimulus being out cold for an hour isn't unheard of the dreams get utterly bizzare,

I've recently started trying Salvia divinorum, it causes a state very similar one of my attacks ( in small doses anyway ) and I seem to sleep better for a few days after taking it. It also increases the length of time I can go in the car without passing out. ( I don't drive myself )

Have you read 'Silas Marner', a couple of hundred years ago people like us would have been thrown out of society, a few hundred years before that we'd have been expected to sit at the top of a birch tree all day eating mushrooms and banging a drum.

Ain't society strange?

BTW the doc was talking about putting me on medications to increase the amount of rem sleep I had at night - any idea what meds he's be talking about?
