Hello and thank you for sharing your experiences. Here I am having the same issue. Almost 5 months ago while I was on vocation with my family suddenly I felt a sudden weakness of both arms which it lasted for 30-40 seconds. Then in a month it happened again and again; randomly. I also have some difficulty breathing but non of them are related to each other. Shortness of breath happens mostly when I go to sleep and it goes away while the weakness of arms has no such a time or any other sign that helps me to figure out what and why i did go to the doctor and after many test and check ups no diagnosis. However my doctor said it could be from the stress Today I had two episodes in a row while I was working with a little boy ( I am an ABA provider) Lately though I have been thinking if it’s related to the heavy begs that I carry all day long since travel from Staten Island-Brooklyn-Manhattan and back ( using public transportation) Does anyone have any idea about what age am thinking about? Furthermore, today I read that Hypothyroidism must be one of the causes that might be connected to arm weakness

This is more about pronounciation than spelling, but it seems appropriate here. It's from a website I have enjoyed for many years: We are told that this little poem came about as an exercise for multi-national translation personnel at the NATO headquarters in Paris. English wasn't so hard to learn, they found, but English pronunciation is a killer. We haven't had time to check the provenance of this poem, but that really doesn't matter, as the poem is interesting, amusing and insightful despite its origin. We were also told that, after trying the poem, a native French interpreter said he'd prefer to spend six months at hard labor than reading six of the lines loud. English is Tough Stuff Dearest creature in creation Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I Oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and heard, Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the latter, how it's written.) Now I surely will not plague you With such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; Cloven, oven, how and low, Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe. Hear me say, devoid of trickery, Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore, Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles, Exiles, similes and reviles; Scholar, vicar, and cigar. Solar, mica, war and far; One, anemone, Balmoral Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel; Gertrude, German, wind and mind, Scene, Melpomene, mankind. Billet does not rhyme with ballet, Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet. Blood and flood are not like food, Nor is mould like should and would. Viscous, viscount, load and broad, Toward, to forward, to reward. And your pronunciation's OK When you correctly say croquet, Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve, Friend and fiend, alive and live. Ivy, privy, famous; clamor And enamour rhyme with hammer. River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb, Doll and droll and some and home. Stranger does not rhyme with anger, Neither does devour with clangor. Soul but foul, haunt but aunt, Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant, Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger, And then singer, ginger, linger, Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge, Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age. Query does not rhyme with very, Nor does fury sound like bury. Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth. Job, knob, bosom, transom, oath. Through the differences seem little, We say actual, but also victual. Refer does not rhyme with deafer. Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer. Mint, pint, senate and sedate; Dull, bull, and George ate late. Scenic, Arabic, Pacific, Science, Conscience, scientific. Liberty, library, heave and heaven, Rachel, ache, moustache,...

I have not been out, but all my plants are inside except 3 pots of basil. My plants have really taken a beating the past several days, they sat in a dark room for several days, then on the deck in strong cold wind for days. I expect to lose a few, but I have several extra. I will hold back a few because I dont have a spot ready anyway. I am thinking that I want to revise one of my cattle panel trellises by cutting it in two pieces, length wise, and making it to where it will "hinge " up high enough to run the mower or tiller under it. That way I can swing it up to work the soil, or place a bucket or mineral tub over the plant if we have an unexpected cold spell. I think that our forecast calls for a lowest of 48* for the next 10 days. I am still waiting on the carburetor for my tiller. I also waiting on another package of seeds, .I think I will be set for seed for a few years, just in case things really turn bad before next year. I dont think the economy will be that bad, but I want to prepare for it anyway. I think our economy will mostly decline for a while, maybe for a long while. I think that I have enough plants that I can save seed from no matter how had the economy gets. Madge just came in and told me that my basil is gone, so it must have gotten much lower here than was forecasted for Ft. Smith, so I guess I can just put catnip in those pots for my granddaughters and start more basil for them.

Back when I was pregnant with my first child, during labor, the doctor said "you are 10 centimeters dilated. She pronounced the first syllable to rhyme with 'lawn' whereas I've always pronounced the first syllable to rhyme with 'men.' I thought it was just her way of saying it. But then when I was having my second child, the nurse (different hospital) also said it like 'sawntimeter' so I knew it wasn't just one person. Yes, the only times that I heard centimeters pronounced that way was by labor and delivery nurses. I found this article about it: http://doccartoon.blogspot.com/2012/08/whats-sontimeter.html
