Re: The Big-Store Syndrome

[Guest guest]

,

I read in my search for ADD for my son, that it is considered Hyper senses.

Makes sense - Dogs are know to have better, or more acute senses then

humans. But what causes, according to this book is something in the wiring

of the brain. But I like Lovey's explanation better, we're all just

geniuses, or used to be!

To MI, Well let me give you a BIG BOOST. I was told that the reason

I had a photographic memory (gone forever!) was because I have LOTS of

Cones in my eyes like an eagle/turkey (turkey makes me believe) and this

is also why I have " near genius IQ " . Well, that part is very

questionable by me right now since I cant even spell correctly anymore!

BUT if that is true and the lights hurt your eyes because you have Lots

of Cones with which to see so much in depth and the light penetrates

deeper into your eyes than the average person, then you must be pretty

smart! Am I making any sense here? or is my IQ in serious doubt here! Ha

Lovey the Learned Lymie having fun. Truth is Stranger Than Fiction.

LOL Lovey ... I like your logic!

I haven't had Tucker tested for Lyme (he's 2 years old this month), but my

guess is that I will again run into a brick wall if I ask, since the Michigan

Department of Tourism has assured everyone that there IS no Lyme Disease in

Michigan. But here's a question ... if there are no reliable blood tests for

us humans, how can they diagnose animals at all? Animals can't give them the

verbal information they need to make a clinical diagnosis.

Hi ,

That's interesting about dogs, I don't buy the panic attack theory, my

problems in stores only seems to happen in stores with low ceilings,

probably because the lights are closer to me, while bigger stores,

especially the warehouse type with high ceilings, and not so good lighting

are a breeze.

Does Tucker have Lyme, if you mentioned before I forgot?

Hi ,

Like humans, dogs are tested, but also treatment is based on clinical

findings. If Tucker has not symptoms nothing to worry about.

Marta and ,

I too don't buy the panic attack theory, I went through those years ago

during my first divorce, and I know the difference. This is more like zoning

out and getting whoozy. I still say its a type of Hyper sense - brain wave

mal-function.
