EvilJester99 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hey at least Viciedo and Beckham are starting to get some hits... too bad the "closers" have been terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Where's Milkman to start sparking the debate about cheering for the Sox to lose again...? Attendance won't get much worse. Terrible/atrocious results on the field can only result in KW getting fired or resigning, so pretty much the same situation as last year with Guillen, this year no cover and no fall guy for Reinsdorf to fall back on or rely upon.

kitekrazy Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I'm out of the view area and can't afford mlb.com. It's hard to get angry over anything. We shouldn't be surprised over this. I'm bothered by the Sale situation but this shouldn't be surprising either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 5, 2012 -> 07:03 PM) See you next year I had to vent. It's a 13-14 team that should be 15-12 or 16-11. There's still a lot to like about this team, but they need to get Danks in line and find a way to scratch 4 or more runs across most days. We'll see what happens between now and the break. First step would be to get over .500 and then win some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's why I said 16-11 or 15-12. The Sox have blown 3 and got 1 back today. So 15-12 if that makes you feel better. You go 15-12 six times, you win 90 games.

Quin Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just want to say, this team has literally been the lone bright spot in my life since April 5th. Was supposed to be the Bulls, but life happens. I enjoy this team still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they 100 percent take away the seizures? Why do you get seizures? Is it a brain problem? Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they really bad where you pass out and your life is in danger if u are driving, etc? I'd assume you have had some tests rather than the doctor just saying he has no idea. An MRI of the brain?

Doctor couldn't shed light on it. This stuff is tricky, a friend of mine struggled to do away with seizures for quite a while. He finally began to manage them with a mixture of medication and a sort of mental therapy -- he learned to "feel" them coming on and "block" them through sheer force of will, for lack of better term. This obviously wasn't the smoothest process but it did work over time and I occasionally will see him zoning out for a second and he tells me he was just focusing to turn off a seizure. Weird stuff. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the score then be 1-0 or 0-0, officially? Like Disco Demolition Night, or there was a situation where the White Sox had to give the other team a victory without being able to play the game?

Do you have a lot of tests scheduled or did doctors just say this is something you have to live with? Sounds like you need a trip to Mayo for full testing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I'd love, love, LOVE to go to Mayo...insurance doesn't cover it. Damn Insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobryansson Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I'm a family practice doc who went to med school at Rush, now living in Colorado. You do not need to go to Mayo. They truly have top notch, world class medical care in the Chicago area. With U of Chicago, Northwestern, Rush, Loyola, and U of Illinois medical schools, the level of expertise is not better anywhere. Push your primary care physician, if he or she cannot help you, to refer you to a neurologist in your area. If that doesn't get the seizures controlled, then the above mentioned medical schools/centers would be the next step. Insurances will have available coverage for the referrals as long as you follow THEIR procedures and work through your primary care physician. If your PCP isn't willing to, or able to, help you or get you to somebody who can, find a different one. Seizure disorder is ALMOST always controllable. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
