Anjae-Don't jump to any conclusions that we don't read the articles. In fact, I read all the articles from RCR and HB 7 months before I ever posted here, and read them over and over and over again in the meantime.
I noticed you have read RCR and HB articles, but not everyone has. But have you read the many discussion threads in the archives and in the main board? If you have, then you know we have been discussing MLC and what may cause it for years.
I did not come here to discuss my own story specifically.
The thing is, HS has rules. You need to have a personal thread. And if you did not come here to discuss your story, why do you post it in other people's threads as well as in science discussion threads? If you are familiar with HB, you must know her board has very strict rules. HS is more flexible, but it does not mean you can do as you please. You cannot be the only person here who does not have a personal story thread and who keeps posting pieces of it on other people's threads.
Plus. we like to know who we are dealing with. We like to know our members story. And you keep trying to not telling us about you. Do you have something to hide?
Comparing the personal experiences of multiple MLCers is the first step that one has to take if one wants to do brain research. Because first of all, one has to come up with a definition of the behaviors common to MLC.
Thank you for informing me of what I, and others, have known and been doing for years. You may not realise but several of us have been around for a while. We are familiar with the many debate threads on the matter of MLC that have existed in HS since its start. We have also been doing just that for years. But, so far, we come to no definitve conclusion.
.And after you define the symptoms in medically sound language, then you can start to design tests to see if your theory is right that something is going on in these parts of the brain.
We know. However, none of us can tests any theory. We do not have brain scans or blood tests. Each of us may think one thing is going in parts of the MLCer brain, but none of us has a single scan from a MLCer brain while in MLC. Let alone of a good sample of MLCers.
I find it sad that Velika is feeling compelled to start a discussion forum elsewhere for this topic as here we have a huge number of people that we could draw from to have a good discussion on this topic.
This is the new topic. Velika wanted one on the neurobiology of MLC (check her preply #77 on this thread) . We already had one. The posts from the science thread that concerned neurology and MLC were merged into the already existing thread on the matter.
However, it might be worthwhile just because that way some sort of scientific rigor could be applied to the discussion...
You mean, the scientific rigour that was applied on the neuroscience thread, and had been for two previous threads on the matter, until you star filling it with your personal issues and stories? You have not been paying real attention to that thread, have you?
Do you know of any HS discussion thread where only one person's issue is being debated? I don't.
If someone posted an article about new research, then it could be discussed as a thread in its own right rather than merged into a catch-all thread of articles where we aren't allowed to discuss it.
No, we could not. There are tech aspects that are necessay to respect. Otherwise HS does not function. We do not have space for it. And Old Pilot and I cannot keep merging all those separated threads. That is why we have threads on several matters. And everyone is allowed to discuss on the Links/blogs/articles for us all to share thread. Like I said before, you cannot dictate HS technical conditions and what can, or cannot, be done on that issue.
Old Pilot and I have a lot of work making the board work, and making sure there is enough space for people to be able to post. Also, that the Community board is not to long in order to be easy to read and for us to do tech work.
You, and everyone else, need to respect the tech constrains and HS rules. We have plenty of debate/discussion threads. More than 3 pages of those on the Community Board and some 15 pages on the Archives.
So, now, please, give it a break. HS has been around for years and has its way of doing things in a way that allow the board to exist.
Like I said before, you are not respecting mine and Old Pilot's work and want to do things your way, just because, even if we have our rules and way of doing things in order to have HS running. So, please be so kind to keep with the board's way. Thank you.
I don't know what has happened to this discussion. It seems it has been pruned or merged or something overnight. And then I go to look at the first post in this new manifestation of the discussion, and what is it? A long personal story. Nothing makes any sense.
This is a different thread. It makes perfect sense. The more personal posts from the Neuroscience thread were put here because this thread has a more personal component. So, now, your posts from the other thread fit here.
You may had not notice but this thread is called Neurology and MLC. The other one was called Biochemistry, Neurotransmitters, and Brain Research. It was not a thread about MLC. It was a thread on wider issues pertaining to that thread title, not on MLC. MLC was not on the title of that thread.
