I will have to thank you again for responding and my answer to your
question regarding my lack of typing mistakes is simply this is what I
do for a living so it comes second nature to me. I can type about
eighty words a minute blindfolded without errors therefore this is
child's play to me. I don't think I'm exaggerating any of the symptoms
and as a matter of fact, I know that I am not. My only mistake may be
in trying to figure out what is the matter with me and I should not jump
to any conclusions. I will be seeing my Dr. tomorrow and I am certain
he will help. Thanks Again.
