I was looking it up, its real. Its commonly called hemiplegic migraine, often people lose sensation or control over half their body similar to strokes, so your symptoms still fit it pretty well. The change in personality traits though is more stroke like. But it's the brain, anything is possible.
yea! my left side stopped working. it was december 23, 1999. I was holding my baby sister, and i felt weird. my face felt like heavy plastic and i couldn't talk right. i couldn't stand up and when I tried to, i almost fell right onto my baby sister - only my right arm was working and i wouldn't let go of her even though i was trying really hard to use my other arm too. i tried jumping to the right by my leg wasn't working and my right leg twisted and I bumped against the couch and ended up on my back on the floor. when my mom finally recovered from the shock she started yelling at me and grabbing the baby and suddenly stopped yelling, looked at my face and screamed. she said it looked like my face was melting.

scary day.

Maybe it's just me, but I find these kind of interesting and easy. I messaged the requester to see if we could do more than one and he responded with the message "Absolutely!". The instructions are a little intimidating, but the hits aren't that bad. At least I don't think so. Some take longer than others, but it seems to even out.

yea! my left side stopped working. it was december 18, 1999. I was holding my baby sister, and it felt weird. my face felt like heavy plastic and i couldn't talk right. i couldn't stand up and when I tried to, i almost fell right onto my baby sister - only my right arm was working and i couldn't let go of her even though i was trying really hard to use my other arm too. i tried jumping to the right by my leg wasn't working and my right leg twisted and I bumped against the couch and ended up on my back on the floor. when my mom finally recovered from the shock she started yelling at me and grabbing the baby and suddenly stopped yelling, looked at my face and screamed. she said it looked like my face was melting.

Yeah that is terrifying. How old were you? Also does anyone else in you family have it? It looks like sometimes it runs in families.

no one else has ever mentioned having any similar problems. I was 18. I gave the wrong date, it was december 23. I guess I remembered the number 18 due to my age - they said it was odd that it happened to such a young person.

and mentally, I feel young. I feel like I'm still 17.. but I think that's actually irrelevant, and I believe most people feel much younger than they are.

Feeling young is good, and yeah I think most of us don't realize what old codgers we are turning in to. Except maybe Devil_Dawg @Catfish

I threw away the receipt showing I paid in cash so disputing this many not work. I think I'll stop by the restaurant later and bitch at the manager too. I love this happens right when I try to buy car parts.

If you start off nicely they will probably reprint you a receipt. They might even call the bank or write you a letter to bring to them. Bring a copy of your bank statement.

Well, since I couldn't do the last batch because I was drunk that night, I feel like they'll end up skipping this week just to spite me.
I was camping last time, so I'm feeling the same...

I'm done for the evening. I have about 8 of the Carnegie Mellon hits that will expire in about 4 minutes. Set a panda if you want to keep working on them.
