    Hi Dave,
    On <Mon, 25 Aug 24>, you wrote me:

    Get thee to a neurologist, post haste! That sort of thing can be/is debititating. And you guys, unlike the US have universal health care.
    Or so I am told.

    Yeah we have it. However they introduced private health care a la usa
    about a year or so ago as well. What does this mean? Wait 8-24 weeks
    for a test OR pay a private clinic too much money and have it done the
    same day. Sure am glad we're going down hill and copying the US
    system! It works great for the working poor like me.

    Then you'd trade the pan in the lower regions for an upset stomach
    and a thumping head. Not a choice I'd care to be saddled with.

    I'd rather that. I mean I'd get a few hours of no pain in the leg/back in exchange for a headache? Bah, never had a hangover that hurt as bad
    as I do daily right now. I'd say it's easily a 10/10 on the pain scale, and I have a very high tolerance for pain as I'm in it 24/7 anyway. This is just next level.

    Shawn
