Brain Tumor Symptoms

• Headaches: This was the most common symptom, with 46% of the patients reporting having headaches. They described the headaches in many different ways, with no one pattern being a sure sign of brain tumor. Many - perhaps most - people get headaches at some point in their life, so this is not a definite sign of brain tumors. You should mention it to your doctors if the headaches are: different from those you ever had before, are accompanied by nausea / vomiting, are made worse by bending over or straining when going to the bathroom.(1)
  
  
• Seizures: This was the second most common symptom reported, with 33% of the patients reporting a seizure before the diagnosis was made. Seizures can also be caused by other things, like epilepsy, high fevers, stroke, trauma, and other disorders. (3) This is a symptom that should never be ignored, whatever the cause. In a person who never had a seizure before, it usually indicates something serious and you must get a brain scan.
  
  A seizure is a sudden, involuntary change in behavior, muscle control, consciousness, and/or sensation. Symptoms of a seizure can range from sudden, violent shaking and total loss of consciousness to muscle twitching or slight shaking of a limb. Staring into space, altered vision, and difficulty in speaking are some of the other behaviors that a person may exhibit while having a seizure. Approximately 10% of the U.S. population will experience a single seizure in their lifetime.
  
  
• Nausea and Vomiting: As with headaches, these are non-specific - which means that most people who have nausea and vomiting do NOT have a brain tumor. Twenty-two percent of the people in our survey reported that they had nausea and /or vomiting as a symptom.
  
  Nausea and / or vomiting is more likely to point towards a brain tumor if it is accompanied by the other symptoms mentioned here.
  
  
• Vision or hearing problems: Twenty-five percent reported vision problems. This one is easy - if you notice any problem with your hearing or vision, it must be checked out. I commonly hear that the eye doctor is the first one to make the diagnosis - because when they look in your eyes, they can sometimes see signs of increased intracranial pressure. This must be investigated.
  
  
• Problems with weakness of the arms, legs or face muscles, and strange sensations in your head or hands. Twenty-five percent reported weakness of the arms and/or legs. Sixteen percent reported strange feelings in the head, and 9% reported strange feelings in the hands. This may result in an altered gait, dropping objects, falling, or an asymmetric facial expression. These could also be symptoms of a stroke. Sudden onset of these symptoms is an emergency - you should go to the emergency room. If you notice a gradual change over time, you must report it to your doctor.
  
  
• Behavioral and cognitive problems: Many reported behavioral and cognitive changes, such as: problems with recent memory, inability to concentrate or finding the right words, acting out - no patience or tolerance, and loss of inhibitions - saying or doing things that are not appropriate for the situation.

Today is my 4th day for reservist, as usual we reported to MT line and slack throughout the day. If SAF have all the time in the world to spare, i sincerely hope they will wake up their bl**dy ideas and make good use of us NS men and not wasting our time away.

I was late this morning, and was in a dilemma whether to declare my camera hp for i be walking in to the camp and not taking my frenze ride. After all consideration for being fine of $150, i decided to surrender. (chicken out)**

Just when this evening i wanted to collect my hp back, i got the most ridiculous, outrageous, absurd shocked.

Dutyguard: Sir, you are not allowed to collect your hp, please come back to collect tom btw 0700 - 1800.
Me: What!!! You are saying as the owner of my hp, i cant even collect my own hp!!!
Dutyguard: But sir, this is the regulation,no one is to colect after 1800 hr and your hp was handed to the RP, and now they have left for the shift. Please come back tom.
Me: Instead of smuggling my hp, declared and entrusted my hp under your care, and now i personally came down here to retrieve my belonging, and u told me i have to come back the f**king next day!! I cant do w/o my hp, i want to speak to your in-charge.
Dutyofficer: Hi sir, please understand our difficulties. we really cant return you the HP.
Me: I understand where you coming from, but i still need my hp... idle for few min. . Fine!! I'm gonna back this up to your CSM tom. @$%$#^#&%$

Until today, SAF is still so inflexible. please wake up for our life are protect by you idiot!!

TAG Heuer presents the Grand Carrera Cal 36 RS Caliper Concept ...

The TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS Caliper Concept is quite an impressive concept. Featuring a world first, the Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS is the only automatic chronograph capable of measuring and displaying 1/10ths of a second. A COSC-certified movement oscillates at a ultra high 36,000 vibrations per hour (vph), allowing the watch to measure 1/10th second intervals.

The Calibre 36 RS is housed in a 43 mm in diameter case which has a black titanium carbide coating. There are "black gold" accents all over the dial of the watch including the indexes, TAG Heuer logo and the hands. The two rotating systems indicating the chronograph minutes at 3 o’clock and the chronograph hours at 6 o’clock systems also use black gold. The watch also features a Linear seconds display a 9 o'clock.

Another innovative design element is the way the watch displays the information. TAG Heuer developed an exclusive Rotating scale that permits precise reading of 1/10th of a second, just watch the video, and you will see what I am talking about.

This concept watch is so exclusive that the design is featured on the dashboard of the limited edition Ken Okuyama designed K.O.7 sportscar, that was on display at the TAG booth this year at Baselworld. After seeing Ken's new design in person at Basel I was not surprised to read that he is the one who designed the famous Ferrari Enzo.

To add to the sporty automotive inspired design of the watch they added a caliper to the dial, which connects to the hour and minute counters at 3 and 6 o'clock. They even perforated the strap, to add to the sporty design.

In life, who has really cherish everythings, every frenze? It only when they leave us, dont belong to us and then we realized it presences .

Recently was addicted to korean drama again, Yes!! i weeped again :'(, not because im weakling, but it simply touched me . .

Let me introduce this touching drama, Snow Queen.

A boxer who was previously a genius, and a rich girl who has a serious illness. Despite appearing not to have any connection, they are similar. Nothing can melt their heart of ice. What is the sunlight that can melt their frozen heart? If the answer is love, is it too cliche?

Tae Woong`s love melted the heart of the ice princess, Bo Ra. Although this winter will be very cold and scary, winter is not the end of the seasons, but the beginning of the hope for a greater love.

This drama is adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen and also pays tribute to Korea's lengendary boxer, Kim Deuk Gu.

Just ordered Mac delivery~~ Hungry.

Im growing fatter and fatter. . . nowadays.
