Thanks for posting your thoughts, Gus! I believe you're onto something here. I don't, & never will, know what happened to me. But it all started at a very early age & went on from there... sort-of like the snowball rolling downhill & getting bigger-&-bigger as it rolls along. There are a few physical things I can point to as possible contributors. But beyond that I do believe that , once the snowball got rolling, (to extend the analogy) it just took on a life of it's own. It's all a ball of twisted wire (or a debris-filled snowball?) that will never be untangled. But I have to believe that, it all had a significant effect on my brain, physiologically speaking. In my case, it doesn't matter anymore. I'm too old. It just is what it is. But I believe you are correct with regard to the need for nourishment & rehabilitation.
