"Doc, maybe this sounds weird, but when I feel weak, I don't feel very strong. And the opposite is true, too. On days when I'm feeling stronger, I seem less weak."
Wow, Dr. G, that is absolutely fascinating! What an astounding medical anomaly! I'm sure you will get that published in a paper in a major medical journal!

My neurologist once said to me that an observation of mine "could be considered as evidence of a learning curve, of sorts." You could say the same. PS I *love* my neurologist--she enjoys saying provocative things to me and I enjoy responding.
I don't get it- it seems perfectly straightforward to me. When s/he feels (emotionally/mentally) weak, the (physical) body is not strong, and so on. It sounds like someone who is not very mentally "connected" to their body, to me. That is, some amount of dissociation going on there- and they are just noticing the relation between how they feel emotionally and the corresponding perceived level of physical strength that comes with it. Sorry but I wouldn't laugh at this person.
Mild Mannered Mr. Lumbar is actually a superhero in disguise - known as Captain Obvious. Occasionally his disguise is slightly blown when he opens his mouth however.
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Some days, when I don't sleep a lot, I'm tired. On days where I sleep more, I'm less tired.
Some days when I feel happy? I feel less sad. And when I am sad? I feel less happy.

Sounds like that Vicodin is working for him...

Wow. The deep thoughts from Mr. Lumbar astound me. He should write a book or something, because he is obviously a mental giant...

I actually understand the person from his point of view :\... maybe it sounds dumb. But he's just saying how he feels.
