No, I don't look like a short, dumpy penguin .... and I rarely wear suits, but I always liked Opus and "Bloom County". Guess that ages me!

I have suffered from grand mal seizures since I was a teenager. I still have to take medication for it (keppra), but have been seizure free for around twenty years now. :clap:

As I've grown older though, I've developed cervical dystonia and essential tremors along with a slight balance problem. :twocents:
 
Hey Opus! I mean sam99! Welcome to CWE!

Great to hear you've been seizure-free so long. Lousy to hear about the side effects from your meds. I've found that the Wii is great for working on your balance...

Best,
Nakamova
 
The balance it's a little annoying but people spend lot's of money for that effect. Jee..

Welcome.
 
Hi Sam:hello:

Welcome to CWE! Hope you get as much out of your experience here as I have. There are lots of nice, knowledgeable people and lots of good information.

Also, congratulations on being seizure-free for twenty years; that gives us all hope!

By the way, I still have my Opus doll on my bookcase though he's a little dusty and missing his bow tie:)
 
Hey Sam

It would just be wrong for someone with a Bill the Cat avatar to not say "hi" or "welcome" to someone with an Opus avatar.

Hi & Welcome!!
