It is not what was said but the way it was said. I do not care to be talked to like I did not finish elementary school.


The text for a quote should go in between the "open quote" and "close quote" tags. They open and close tags should look like this [ quote ] and [ / quote ] -- but without any spaces between the brackets, slash and words. Does that make sense?

I won't continue to go on any more about this but I find it very sad that you choose to see it in this way. "Does that make sense?" Is asking "Have I explained that properly?" It is NOT a reflection on you. Personally I appreciate when others are willing to take the time and effort required to help me learn something I did not know.

Sharon, I am so sorry that my message came across the wrong way. I was not trying to insult you at all. I was trying to clear up some apparent confusion and also help with the quote tags. I feel sad that you felt insulted. Please believe me when I say that was the farthest thing from my mind.

Lots of us have have cognitive problems. I also have some "brain fog" at times. And I know that I'm not very articulate at times.

So can we just agree that I don't explain things very well and leave it at that?

I have no interest in fighting, and assume that we all have brain fog going on, as well as other issues. I did know this information, and the way it came across seemed patronizing. I was trying to get the information in quotations but had a difficult time with cutting and pasting on an ipad. This is why I specifically gave Dr. Rowe credit.

Things can be misinterpreted when they are written as the emotional aspect left off. No hard feelings, I just wanted you to be aware that I was no oblivious to the information you were sharing.

Thanks for posting the information about the doctor who did your tilt table test. I have no idea whether I'll ever need/want more testing. But it's really nice to know where to find a compassionate doctor who is also an expert in this area -- not only testing but also for exploring new/different treatment options.
