I hope you’re okay Quasi. I don’t know much about your condition but can you do something to relax a bit? (If you’re like me, Diet Coke only makes me more agitated and wired)

I know! You mentioned once to me your a musician too? Check this clip out:

Perhaps you should look into Ritalin.

**Quasi** , I also posted about this in the Pit thread. Someone has offered to post to her. You’ve done what you can do on this. Please try to relax.

I’ve not been around a while but are you always this jerky Rigamarole?

Don’t give up, **Quasi**! I’ve heard there are about a hundred compounds in Phase III testing, and I’ve heard that there have been encouraging results with a drug called Rember.

For you and others who may not be aware, **Quasimodem** has Alzheimer’s. Please be kind.

Lack of sleep isn’t going to help your mental state, **Quasi**. Try to get some rest. Next week, call your doctor and tell them about the bad dreams; there may be medication that you can try. And see if putting notes up around the house that remind you that they are just bad dreams helps when you wake up. My BIL has Lewy Body Disorder and often he believes that whatever he dreams is true.

I’m thinking of you.

Okay so Rigamarole isn’t usually jerky?

Quasi and I have been chatting a bit and I’m sorry I took that to be a cheap shot and it upset me that someone would say something like that to him since it is pretty well known our friend Quasi has health issues.

I’m sorry if I was out of line. I’ve slowed down in my posting and am trying to get more involved again.

**Colibri** may have through you were addressing **Quasimodem** rather than **Rigamarole**.

Either way, I’m locking this thread.

Just for the record, **Marley23** is correct. Last night **Quasi** was posting rapidly in multiple threads, and I was trying to deal with some of the issues that came up simultaneously. In the flurry, I didn’t realize that **Kricket** was referring to **Rigamarole** rather than **Quasi**. My apologies for the misinterpretation. Even so, calling another poster “jerky” was inappropriate in this thread.
