Some of you may have noticed that I have not been active much this past few months .......well the reasons are simple.... first I was very busy touring away from home. Then in the last few weeks I became quite unwell. I will not go into too much detail.....but now I know how Mike Caro feels. The docs who performed many tests can say and rule out what it is NOT but have no idea as to what it actually IS...I have been feeling weak, faint, light headed and have terrible migraines and nausea...I am also forgetting things.... well more than normal LOL....and my eysight has deteriorated suddenly. I am going for an op in a couple of weeks to sort out the cataracts that appeared last summer and have suddenly got much worse. They think it is a virus of some sort or maybe to do with my spinal probs that continue to plague me. I blame all the clean living myself. Anyways I apologise to folk who are waiting for songs etc but I just cannot do much at the moment....I will have to put things on hold for a wee while before thinking of writing songs or recording. the good news is that I may also not be able to do much writing on the boards.....LOL but will drop by as often as possible.

You were conspicuous by your absence, Big Jim.  Sorry to hear about these current tribulations. Not good.  I'll hope you'll soon be fighting fit. Donna

Hey Jim Yes.... was soon to be posting the "where's Jim thread" but I had a feeling from not long ago that you were both busy and troubled. Try to take it easy if possible, the migraine you mentioned all by itself causes and can cause all those other symptoms you mentioned. Migraines debilitate people. There like an invasion, I don't get them fortunately but others like my wife do. Brutal! Now trying to figure out what's causing them is another story. Oh and when seeing your doctor, saw my 57th just yesterday. Do not MAN up. That means let your man pride try to hide how you really feel. I've done it and it didn't help me, I also tried crying like a little baby as well and that didn't work either. So I don't know what else to try You get well!!!! Mike

Jim,
Unfortunately they can't always find a stroke after the fact nor can they do much about it, but I wonder if that is part of your troubles as I had all those things in connection to my strokes (including the appearance of a cataract and my eyes were about the only things on my body working normally at that point).
Also, remember that no one cares as much about your health as you do. It's their job, not their life and patients often are simply what rests between getting up in the morning and getting home to their family at the end of the day and nothing more. You have to seriously take control and don't take half answers or indifferences from your doctors. If they aren't engaged (and you can usually tell or sense that) then fire them and get a new doctors and a new opinion. You only get one go round, and don't let it be ruined with declining health. We may not always agree, but on this topic I am the expert.
Brian

Well that is not good news. Hope they get it sorted out quickly. I was certainly wondering were you were. Hope it is not the foreign food. I hear the haggis is horrible across the Channel.

Hey Jim,
Take care of yourself man. If it was just your ears burning I'd say that was me talking about you the other day. I have nothing but the best to say though so that would be a good burn....Take care and come back when you can.
