THANKS EVERYONE- But unfortunately -?

Brickwall Demolisher...well done for writing that, as far as I understand the thalamus is to relay motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex, which can cause you several difficulties.

If you are finding accupuncture benefical ( I use accupresure which is the same without the needles) you may want to look at TTouch and see if there is a TTouch Practitioner anywhere near you or even better a PiT ( Practitioner in Training) who wants/needs someone to practice on for their qualification and experience for the CPD case studies
PiTs have to have trained for 2yr minimum with 4 separate weeks specific training in Bath before they are called a PiT and can practice but free treatment you would just pay travel expenses
Ttouch Practitioners minimum of 6 weeks in Bath plus CPD... are allowed to charge
Most have many more years and Ttouch is very gentle and non invasive....often with amazing results, from pain management to retraining the brain to enable movement
http://www.ttouchtteam.org.uk/contact.shtml if you contract them address it to Sarah Fisher who runs UK TTouch, if she can help or refer you to a Human TTouch Practitioner or PiT locally to you she will
I am a Companion Animal TTouch Practitioner.....a friend of mine was at the time the only HumanTTouch Practitioner in the UK, lived in Scotland unfortunately she died 3yrs ago from cancer...however I don't know if others have qualified or are in training, so Sarah is the right person to ask

I wish you well

Hi, and thanks to all,
  For everyone who took a look at my post. I did not realise that my post of me stopping my research would have so many possible r/c's looking in. Not sure how long again that this post will take to do, but started this one 4 a.m Sat. My body clock I realise is out, sleep and awakening at the wrong times? Cannot seem for some reason to get some continual (decent's) night/s sleep?. Hence for my starting to text at this time of 4 a.m?? 
Before I carry on any further with with this post, do you, the R/C organiser's / controller' s want for me to be continuing using this Forum site discussing my health situation / problems or for what as it is meant for a Family History Researching?. As I have mentioned, the surprising response which I have had from you is very gratefully received I can assure you. To all you R/C' s, thank you again for you well wishing's. Will keep on continually and hopefully looking forward to "getting" / find some""treatment"" that will be able to help me returning back, as I was, to researching of my Family History and continue with it. As to when I can get back, no one can even guess at , at the present moment?  My main thought is that with F /  H , as to what is available / been released will always be there for researching into. All with it's mistransription's and error's??All for now, Regards Just J

Best wishes and take care. Pop in now again when you can and keep us posted on how you are
doing. 

If you decide to pass on all you have acquired in your Family History I am sure someone would
appreciate it.

I came to do mine when an Uncle of my Father asked me if I would take over his research as his
children were not interested. I could see that it meant so much to him that I decided I would, and
it has certainly been an interesting journey and put me firmly in touch with 'who I am'.

All
I have been on recommended medication for near on five years now. My body eventually rejects the medications. With me losing one or with a mixture of , balance, loss of coordination, concentration and having to sleep and be awake at times that I don't won't to be, my right side is partially paralysed.  I was right handed before the stroke  and I have lost a considerable amount of its usage and I have been advised that it will may never return. If you know of the Andrew Marr political editor and of his Sunday Morning program, he had a stroke about one year before  I did. I have noted and tried to follow on his recovery. I am not much different in comparison with Andrew
My private thalamic stroke Doctor advised me that my symptoms are unpredictable and it will be hard to find the right something to help with the symptoms?
With the neuropathic pain symptoms. I cannot remember what a really good night's sleep feels like.
 This last occurrence has been my worst, it just hits. I am more or less housebound with this condition.I am having private treatment as I need more than what can be supplied. I am also trying to get the left hand to take over where the right hand is failing, but it's being a near on impossibility. I am not able to travel on public transport at all because of my unstability. I was advised to use a mobiity vehicle but refused it at the early stages of my stroke because my belief is if you do not use certain limbs enough you could lose the. through muscle deterioration. There are no two strokes ever the same. I did not have the F.A.C.E symptoms. I just went to bed one evening and woke up with it the following morning in November 2015.
The sufferer needs a lot of individual treatment. I have been very lucky as I have a family member who gave up their career to  concentrate more time with my recovery. This they decided to do 18 months into my stroke and they have been with me ever since.
At the start of this recent offset they have put me, trialling me, on another different drug. At the moment I seem to feel that it is helping but this can only over be proven over longer time, but how long is a piece of string, that it will keep helping me or how long will It be before it turns on me.
All the other medications that I have taken for the past five years I cannot really speak as to what the different future medications will do?'
