Who really cares what is in Brian Nelson's Brian? Maybe no one. So in that case it has just led me down the path closer to my son Avery's Carpal Tunnel of the arm or Agnes's carpal tunnel of the hand. Well there is only one way to find out. I am going to start this today and see how long it will be before someone would possibly be interested in what is going on in Brian's Brian. This is "Thinking outside the box" and finding out if anyone else is able to find an interest in looking outside their own box, looking into my box just incase there is some reason to really learned what is going on in there. Psychiatrists will have a field day with this page. If any of them ever write me I will credit their writing me and give you a link to their websites. |

| You see, I really want to know
about what other people are thinking than they do of me. People
can help other people
if they only will let them. BUT.........MOST JUST DON'T.
CHECK IT OUT. How much do you really want to know about others?
Not much. We just are often afraid to learn too much about others. If
and when they want our opinion then they will start asking questions.
They don't want you to really know what is in their brain. Most people don't
care most of the time. I think there is a reasonable solution to just about any problem. First we have to admit that there is a problem. I have tons of ideas and thoughts on just about everything. I am over my head 90% of the time in just everything I do. But the Lord pulls me through it with winning colors each and every time. I really like to delegate things out but it often just doesn't happen. I was going to apply for the Procrastinator of the Year Award but I just kept putting it off until later. I think by brain is miles ahead of what I am really able to accomplish if I could only find out how to delegate everything and just do the thinking. "Ah ha, you probably have been to my http://www.BrianNelsonConsulting.com or to http://www.NelsonIdeas.com web page. |
| So how can I turn these think possibilities into something real. For one thing I have to stop procrastinating just about everything. Maybe this brain journal will help me determine what I have to do to make more of the difference that I am really capable of accomplishing. Tomorrow something new will be going on in Brian's Brain . Since there may be not educational value to you then maybe you can get some entertainment by nosing into another's life just like the stupid soap operas on television that are watched by tens of millions great hearted Americans become avid viewers who want to know what bizarre crazy thing people are going to do with each other. |
| You can
learn more about me when you visit a few of the hundreds of my web sites by
looking in my blue affiliate box on the bottom of all my websites. One of the only ways you will get to this page is for you to find the Brian's Brian link on your own on my large affiliate blue-box on which is an "include page" updated hourly on hundred of my websites. You would be looking for the words, Click Brian's Brain which can be found under multiple descriptions including the columns of Consulting, Medical Information, Religious, Free space or just look under entertainment. Thought posted may be truncated. This is a diary or personal journal. I am not going to keep it private because I would be the only one to have reason to look at it. |

DAY 1. Today is Saturday June 25, 2005 Day 1
Yesterday I decided that I would finally have to get some free water on my
lawn. The weather has been in the 90's with no rain. My trees and yard
desperately need water. I had my lawn pump working a couple of years
ago but it has been idle for that last 2 years because our rain shortage was
not as great as it is now. I invited my friend Charles ( the oil guru
) to help me. We got the Flotec pump to run well and reestablished it
in the line of things but it failed to develop a prime. I removed the
foot value. Interesting things showed up. The entire outside of
the valve with a thousand holes was surrounded with a blanked of closely
grown moss. That was easy to remove. It revealed a clam inside the factory
sealed foot valve. It's body mass was now 500 times greater than when
flowed into the valve as a newborn clam through the holes. So it go
stuck inside the valve and in a short period grew to a size just bigger than
the 1/32 holes. So for the last 2 to 3 years it grew to the size it was now.
No equivalent valves were available from Sears so I

The Latest for Today
6-16-05 TENT NOTES: Our tents are modular. After your have finished using the tent for the first time You can re-cycle the steel connectors very easily into another product. For long term set ups I would highly recommend the use a Dome Tent instead of a Gable Roof Tent. It is better with high winds, water ponding and clear span space. Remember that our tents do not include the 10 ft. long EMT straight pipe which you purchase in your city from a home convenience center. It will cost about as much as the rest of the party tent kit that you buy from me. I have seen a price reduction on the west coast for pipe. Make a few phone calls to get the best price. Be sure they have aas much as you need. You may have to go to several locations if you are buying a big tent. Brian 713-467-3025 Click here to e-mail me with any questions. |

Trigeminal Neuralgia, I am putting together this page to centralize some of the data on the internet about Trigeminal Neuralgia aka tic douloreaux. IT is also know as TN . I have TN or some related version . My first trip to the GP DR. B did not provide a clue to what I had but he did the normal thing and sent me for an MRI. ( Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses magnetic resonance to produce images of the body.) on July 6, 2004. I took 2nd MRI and a MRA on Aug. 28, 2004. The only item discovered during those expensive tests was a pinched nerve resting on the spinal column. Medically the report said. Moderate spondylosis and annular bulging are present form C3-4 thought C 6-7, most serve at C 3-4. A 45 minute EMG determined that that problem was of minor concern for a nerve in the leg.
In July my dentist Dr.
T-R Suggested the I look up trigeminal neuralgia. Bingo.
After reading the information
about Trigeminal Neuralgia on the web I felt I finally located something about a
problem that had been puzzling me since May 2004. Reading about TN was depressing
at first but it was also
consoling in that I now felt that I am not alone with these inside the head pains.
Most importantly they were not
a figment of my
imagination.
My first visit to a neurologist Dr. R. was in July 2004. A
prescription for Flexerel was given. After a week I determined that it may
be the source of a very itchy rash on the right side of my neck after I stopped
taking the medication and the rash went a way. Then I was given Neurontin.
On
9-13-04 my dosage was increased to 1800 mgs of Neurontin per day. . I
didn't think
the 1800 mg was doing me any good. I called Dr. R about it . On 9-24-04
he suggested to increase the Neurontin to 3000 mg (5 600 mg
pills / day.) It did not seem to be doing any good. I still received
significant jolts to the left side of my face. I decided I should taper off of Neurontin. I did
so over a 2 week period but when I got totally off of it my pain from
jolts came in much stronger than before. So I went back on some of it and
the heaviness of the jolts decreased. Based on my pain circulating from the top of the left side of my head to the deep part of my throat Dr. K thinks I have Atypical Facial Pain, ATFP .What is ATFP?. It is is a syndrome encompassing a wide group of facial pain problems. The outlook seems even worse than Trigeminal Neuralgia as some experts say that MVD surgery is not usually a successful option for ATFP. It is usually treated with medication. Darn! You will find details about ATFP on website no. 4 of this compendium. I learned from the web about the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association based in Florida. Every 2 years they have a national conference. During the TNA Conference in Florida Nov 10-14, 2005 Often Dr. PJ said atypical facial pain may mean that that there is more than one blood vessel compressing more than one nerve. You have to be skilled in looking for it.. All should be corrected during the same time if one chooses an MVD procedure. I have heard other MVD neurosurgeon Dr. TK. states that he has never seen more than one blood vessel causing a problem. Now who do I believe?
My wife Rosemary and I
attended the
TNA
National
Conference on Trigeminal Neuralgia November 11-14, 2004 at the Walt Disney World Orlando
Hilton in Florida. It consisted of some long days listening to the informative
presentations provided by about 50 doctors. Enroute I discovered how true
the information I had read about how altitude change on an airplane can bring on more
intensity of TN problems.
Pain enroute was excruciating in the pressurized cabin.
On my return trip I increased my Tegretol dosage the day before and the day
of travel as advised at the conference. It decreased the head pressure
and gave me traveling comfort. Enroute the hearing on my left
side went out at the same time the altitude was affecting my TN pain.
My hearing resumed after a nights sleep but 2 days later went out again
prior to the return flight and did not return to normal in about 30 days
when I
visited a ENT specialist DR. V who determined that my pressure was not
correct in my left ear and was affecting my hearing. Holding my nose and
blowing heavily with a closed mouth did not discharge the liquid in
the ear area. DR. V did a lancing procedure which restored my
left ear hearing. About Jan. 7, 2005 while flossing my teeth I discovered that my top teeth would not line up with my bottom teeth. A dental visit on Jan. 11, 2005 with Dr. TR determined that there is a good chance that I have TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder). Yuk. More pain and expense. Phone calls to my insurance company and a TMJ specialist office determined that it is not very likely that TMJ would be covered by insurance. If you have any experience with TMJ please let me know. I finally made an appointment with a TMJ Dentist Specialist for 1:30 PM on Jan 27. 2005. Earlier in the Morning on Jan 27 someone advised me that TMJ was a muscle only problem. She referred me to a Health and Wellness office who saw me immediately. After an hour of massaging my shoulder, neck and face muscles I could open my mouth to 1 and a half fingers compared to a single finger wide opening. Today I can open to about 2 finger. I will continue massage treatments. Dr. TK did not think it was related to the TN but could have been cause by the TN. Let me know if you have had a similar experience. While I attended a TNA Houston Support group meeting Jan 30, 2005 I mentioned to the meeting speaker neurosurgeon DR. WH that I have had for a long time a numbness on the left side of my face. It is the side that my TN is on. I asked him what is the basis of the numbing since I have had no TN treatment other than meds. He wondered if I had had a MRI. I mentioned that I have had several. He felt that it is something he has not seen in handling over 100 TN patients a year. It could be something very serious. Darn. Another road block. Dr. TK's nurse thought that this numbness is occurring including half my tongue because I brain is getting pain signals from other parts of my head relative to the TN . If you have any idea how this numbness can occur please call me or email me your thoughts. DR. TK said that an MVD could be done with out any effects form the TMJ> . If you have any experience with anything about TN or TMJ please contact me. If you find a web page with valuable information please send it to me and I will link to it from this website. You can find this site again by typing the word "neuralgia" backwards, ie. "aiglaruen" in Google. The next TNA conference on TN will be in November 2006 in Seattle. If you have Trigeminal Neuralgia I would highly recommend that you and your spouse attend. Be sure you buy and read ahead of the the book on TN called "Striking Back". You will meet many others with your similar problem and will hear many Doctors speak about the latest research and treatment in TN. Another book that is a lot harder reading is called "Working in a Small Place" . IT is about the originator of the first MVD microvasular decomplression. Dr. Peter Jannetta. Both books can be ordered from the TNA at a reasonable price. As I write this on 06/16/2005 the left side of my face is still in a constant burning pain which seems to get tighter as the sun goes down. The left side of my tongue feels as if it got scaled drinking hot coffee. I have determined that I also have a possibly unrelated TMJ problems. TMJ refers to the Temporomadibular Joint. has been that way for over a month nown that I have been attending a special massage treatments twice a week which involves pressing of the should and face muscles to get them to be more relaxed. I have seen improvement from JIm B and Victoria W. When I started with the TMJ wellness problem I could open my mouth to 1 finger insertion. Now I am up to 2 fingers and a little bit. I will continue to post my progress here.
