it must be Acute Horrifyingly Painful Slow Death Syndrome
I get my blood test results tomorrow, but in the meanwhile have some odd symptoms:
lying in bed my arms and legs will cramp a little at the slightest opportunity. I can feel my hands and feet tingling, and muscles jumping.
If I cough I feel a tingling sensation radiating from the centre of my spine outwards!
All this goes when I get up.
During the day around 10-11ish I'll get a steady side pain which moves as I move, eg sat on the bog it's not noticeable. Today the entire right side of my body including face felt numb-ish and now my left elbow is hurting. Right arm feels like it wants to cramp.
Blood pressure normal. I've been googling liver disease in preparation for what the doc might tell me tomorrow but none of what I'm feeling is mentioned, so what the flock is wrong with me?

erm
lupus?
Since my stroke i have had stiffness when sat still for some time (hour+) and it's worse first thing in the morning.
I do cramp a fair bit and my right side (stroke side) is prone to cramping quite a lot - muscles get screwed)
Other bits sound like trapped nerves so it might be a back issue.
i'm no doctor but i have had all of those symptoms and i aint dead yet.

a decent string of sleeps will help
as the hive mind is open: anyone heard of service charges to flats at 150-170 a month? they seem to be part ownership related but still
that seems prettyprettypretty steep

first a small one TIA then a proper one a day later.
I wouldn't recommend one, luckily i can walk, talk and move properly now (6 months) just have muscle pain ans stiffness

I think i was mildly depressed for 1 day when in hospital, that was mainly due to being stuck in a ward with 20 other over 80 year old men farting and dribbling, but i have been fine since then.
and is this genetic or just completely out of the blue?

i was told not long after the stroke that i would have kidney failure within 2 years... The good news however is that I should be able to que jump being diabetic and i would have a dual transplant - kidney & pancreas..
So it's pretty cool - after being diabetic for 20+ years they are going to cure me (with just anti rejection meds going forward)
Oh and everything is always related to being diabetic.
Also another reason why i just laugh off the stroke I spose

is saying trapped nerve somewhere.
I have a touch of cervical spondylosis, and often get pain in my arms and pins&needles and that lot.
Are we running a book? 10p says it's a nerve thing.

spondylitis is a great name! I think trapped nerve too, but don't even know where to start on the diagnosis for that!
but it was just a fcked back and me being a bit of a misery guts
driving a lot, standing on floor cold air vents in equipment rooms and generally being a slouch really doesn't help - i'd not be surprised if you were suffering similarly.
weirdly the bloke who worked opposite me was then diagnosed with it about a week later, but sadly it really was for him.

standing on cold floor air vents and sitting on badly designed office and workshop chairs. Mrs W's sofa isn't the most comfy either! Coming home I had the heated seat on max and it felt a lot better but moved pain to my chest. Were your symptoms worsened by booxe or bettered? Last night I felt great whilst having a bottle of wine :)
i also had pains in my side and chest, which turned out to be because of my back as well, there's a set of nerves runs round from the spine round the ribs that were getting squashed
so don't panic, you might not be dead tomorrow

Somehow I've ended up being responsible for the proper running of the backups. Today I discover two servers that don't have IPs listed, there's no password for them and they're not being backed up, I think "Oh shit, I'm gonna get killed for this"
After a fair bit of detective work it turns out that these servers have been sitting in the data centre, sucking up power and putting out heat for years when they should have been sitting in a skip.
I want my holiday to be now instead of a month away.
What's your favourite jam?

I also had a crazy dog that lived down my street that liked to steal and chew my manuals on my way home. So basically as I recall everything used to smell a bit like dank dog.
Google was about but it wasn't the haven of information it is now. I used to develop on dial up and have to remember to disconnect it otherwise I'd end up in trouble for the massive phone bill.

I took it to bits and reasembled it. It was made easier by the fact that someone has already clearly opened it and performed the same operation previously as some of the components and screws were already missing.

on a line I use once every 2 weeks to phone a freephone number with. It's only a few pence, but someone's clearly managing to place calls using my line.
I've unplugged it to see what happens next month. It's freaky.

of someone breaking into your house and using your line to place a couple of calls every month vs. the telco's billing system cocking up you're barking up the wrong tree.
to place a few pence worth of calls every month utterly preposterous. It's just not worth the effort.

Our cheap phone deals largely rely on having a landline, and deleting the landline results in my broadbeans price increasing by about the same as it's cost.
Virgin seem to insist that you pay them at least £30 per month irrespective of your requirements.

I suggested it might have been my cleaner.
She was very understanding, but quite clear on the fact it wasn't her.

It's a convenient solution, whihc also probably helps avoid the taxman a bit.
Anyway, it was you chatting with her on fb last night, so if you're right, I'll raise an invoice for her time ;-)

VAT clawback would be good as we are 21% on luxuries here, but then after that comment would she be classed as a "luxury"
Regards Luxury, I'd have thought if you were approaching from the front then no, but for rearward access, she's definetely VATable.
"VAT clawback" sounds like some sort of boudoir activity, so is in itself, probably subject to VAT.
A few members of staff are off this week, so I've promised various things will be done by the time they're back. Silly me!

It's crap. Although, that might just be Siemens fault.
They added it on to an already overstretched network. Each phone is also a hub, so the ethernet cable runs from the floor into the phone, then another one goes from the phone into the PC. The UI is awful - truly awful - and the voicemail system is another whole world of pain.
i would be interested in if they think there are any issues with that setup.

and how much bandwidth it needs up.
given a standard 800k up and a 2 lines to one person scenario, i'd take off 100k for ADSL variation, call it 100k per person inc overheads and say one ADSL might be ok for 10-12 extensions with 5 concurrent?
thats a complete guess though and based off what i know 64k sounds like over a leased line.

we might be able to squeeze ten concurrent outbound with a following wind, and nine should be fairly comfortable?
is using a local ISP who can control their own traffic shaping and contention to ensure our VoIP bandwidth is protected. I don't know how easy this would be to achieve with a suppliuer buying ADSL off BT.
i personally wouldnt just fling one up like that if it was for anything other than intersite comms. customer facing stuff i'd certainly look to run seperate switches and all that but wouldnt run off any old adsl as per JOS too.
so much as packet loss, and latency. VoIP uses a large amount of very small packets, and if a small percentage is lost, quality falls away. Likewise, if there is high latency, packets may arrive too late and be discarded, giving the same problem.
We use a 2mb synchronous wifi link to a local ISP, and this works fine most of the time. Our ISP protects the VoIP portion of the bandwidth so the call doesn't break up everytime I refresh the board. Also, we have completely rejigged out network infrastructure to minimise the amount of time VoIP data and other data are using the same network hardware - we have separate switches for computers and phones, and have distributed other items across these two to minimise use fo the uplink between them.
For the record we use a dedicated Trixbox server, and Polycom 501 phones. Note that most manufacturer's "SIP" phones are not fully SIP compliant. Avaya's for example use the SIP protocol, but require an Avaya server to operate, and will not work with other SIP compatible systems. The Polycom phones are fully standards compliant, which is why we use them, and I'd recommend them.
In short, if it's a consumer ADSL connection, and you want more than one line, and need reliability, I would advise against.

as it amuses me when a director has misspelled their own name when signing themselves up for yet more spam
our phones aren't ip at all, the SIP would just be from the PBX for external lines. that would be over a dedicated ADSL with a business supplier. i don't know what traffic shaping they do, i don't have direct contact with the isp. the bandwidth is 18 down 1 up on speedtest.net and their latency test gave 18ms for pings, completely consistently
our phone company installed that ADSL specifically for their SIP service, so you'd think it would be ok for it right? they are now saying it isn't, to which i am all like WTFLOLZOR. just checking that there isn't something i am missing here before i start kicking them up and down the street

I don't really know what bandwidth we use, actually, as I now recall that we buy 2mb PLUS 5x VoIP lines, so the ISP manages the VoIP bandwidth outside our regular connection.
pingtest.net gives our connection 15ms, 0% loss, and 7ms jitter, so that might give you some sort of baseline.
