I've been having major tingling in my palms for some time now. I've gone through a complete blood panel, RSI tests, and an EMG. Nerve conductivity tests are unpleasant - they basically electrocute all your funny bones in your arms making your hands jump like a dead frog on a dissection platter. It was amusing at first but grew tiresome when the shocks got upwards of several dozen.
Turns out my nerves are good - better than most. My diabetes is too minor for neuropathy. My grip strength is good and it's not an artifact of my arthritis because that's unilateral and this is bilateral. I'm told if symptoms continue, to pursue more tests. Yeah, right.

Mystery illness, for the win!
Nerves are fun. I have dead patch on my left thigh. The doctor gave it a cool name, but I can't remember it. It could have been caused by years of wearing a tool belt which pinched off that nerve at the hip bone.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

Can we name it then? Your dead patch, I mean. I nominate 'Bartholomew'. Bartholomew the dead patch on Greg's left thigh.
I have a dead patch too...

It has some cool medical name the neurologist gave it ending in 'sia' like all the cool neurologist names.
So, when I'm at parties, I can say I have neuroastemisia or something, and people can all be awed by the cool problem I have that a neurologist gave a name to.

Those party guests would be more impressed if you called in Bartholomew.
But back to ME, because it's all about ME.
I was thinking I should change my DOOMoniker to Tingle Palms, but it made me melancholy for my late dog, Jingle Pom. Plus Tee-Pee ain't the greatest initials. Better than Erectile-Dysfunction, I suppose. But we all bow down to Pee-Pee-eFf-whY.

I thought it was like the tides with ebbs and flows. Some days or times are more melty than others.

It's more like the temperature. Sometimes nice and melty. Sometimes a little too chunky. Sometimes burnt to a crisp.

#1: "Bartholomew" is silly. "Sargasso of the Thigh" is much better. You're welcome.
#2: "Tingle Palms"? Heh.
#3: Brains are like cheese.
Over to you.

Is Tingle Palms any relation to noted homo erotic fiction author Chuck Tingle? After your days in the Mission Street windows, I figured it was a given.
Chuck Tingle!

Chuck Tingle!
Only you would know this author. Well, maybe CF too.
And it was SOMA and a PPFY thing. You lived at Castle Highland. Surely you understand.

You still didn't answer the question, so I'm going to assume yes.
Actually, Mr. Tingle achieved fames several years back when they tried to game the voting system at the Hugos and his name came up and got on the ballot to win a Hugo.
How afar afield are we at this point? Maybe I should talk about my psoriasis some more.

Greg, when is Bartholomew Sargasso's birthday?
I'm going to send him a tuxedo-band-aid so he's the best-dressed person wherever you go.

I'm pretty sure BS was born in the summer of his 27th year. He came home to a place he'd never been before.
He left yesterday behind. You might say he was born again. And again.
