I will be 42 this year

Sounds like it could be a form of epilepsy....
You know if people find out it doesn't matter. It is your business not their business. I hope you get it sorted out soon. Not good to leave things like that.

He needs a more social birthday I feel.

Hardon might be a shitstirring fuck, but at least he knows how to enjoy himself, unlike some. 

When I get my paycheck, I'll be sure to make the most of it.

I do - but then I have the possibility of being a cripple on my back too. Makes me feel a wee hypocrtical preaching to the others, despite the fact i hide my ill health loads.

nah, you haven't mentioned enough about this to grab my attention.

Since you are no longer hiding, what is wrong?

No idea in terms of a diagnosis, but I have a very twitchy arm and leg so far. Been hiding it by wearing thick clothing - but I think people are going to twig sooner or later.

It could be a lot of things, even simple fatigue or reaction/interaction to meds. It could also be serious. Spazzing limbs is not necessarily part of being a spazz,

Better to have it checked out than to worry about hiding it, don't you think.

[/quote]I hope there is a treatment available to fix that problem Hadron. Get it checked before it runs amok on your system.

You should have it checked out, Hadron.  That way you'll know for sure and you won't have to keep worrying and hiding it.

I had similar symptoms and it turned out to be fatigue and a potassium deficiency.

I will be 32 this year. It sucks. I don't like celebrating my birthday either but I have a twin sister and she likes to celebrate having a birthday. So I end up going along with it.

Why not just change the date of your birthday so you can have your own and then not invite anyone or celebrate it?

I am having it checked out and have been to the doctor - they just told me rather helpfully that it was serious and that I get put on a queue.

It does matter a lot if people find out and tbh they doubt its epilepsy. For example one department have been trying to kick someone out of all lectures for being Epileptic, my university is ridiculous like that. The reaction from fellow students I don't expect to be very nice either.

Which university is this?

[TheoK]

Durham. TheoK is at their forum.

Good.

Here's to hoping it is nothing that can't be managed.

Too bad you don't have the complex web of disability acts there we do here

Oh we have them - just that the university cannot be bothered to follow them unless you make them. Which means going to the patronisation service first and providing medical evidence then filling out a load of forms. The law states you have to tell the university before they can act on it - so of course until you have done that in writing then you don't have cause for complaint. It does show the attitudes though.

Personally I have legal protection insurance so if they try anything like that, then I will sue the pants off them.

I am glad they don't think it is epilepsy. I hope it is easily treatable. I think it is rotten that you have to hide things from people instead of being proud of who you are. Hide big things and someone will definitely find out.

The uni and fellow students sound like a bunch of intolerant closed-minded arseholes. I wonder if you could find a sneaky way of getting the place.....audited? Right word? In regards to their attitudes and services for people with disabilities. A few phone calls or letters?

Someone might, but I am fortunately a very quick and effective liar.

Hmm, having the place audited would be interesting shall we say. Next year I suspect one of the next union sabbaticals might be very very sympathetic, if I have any evidence then I will make sure he gets it. Though I would feel really sorry for anyone sent to audit the place, the paperwork is so poorly done that a member of staff was able to walk out the front door with £500,000, simply by writing cheques to themselves. I doubt she was the only one, either:
