Ever wondered how Mercury retrograde might mess not just with your texts and calls, but with the very act of writing itself? Well, buckle up, because this isn’t your average celestial nonsense. I dove headfirst into the cosmic chaos and a personal labyrinth of mystery—my own atypical dysgraphia diagnosis, unearthed after more than two decades of scribbling away in my unique “Cajun” style. It’s wild to think that while Mars throws its fiery tantrums overhead, I’m grappling with my left hand drifting on the keyboard, my handwriting a cryptic puzzle, yet somehow stringing together 100-page stories without missing a beat. Could the stars—and an AI named DeepSeek R1—be teaming up to decode this paradox? Join me as I unravel a tale of neuroinflammation, childhood brain bumps, and a sprinkle of cosmic humor. I promise, it’s as tangled as a horoscope on eclipse day—and just as revealing.
Catch up here: True Story Unfolding: A.I. DeepSeek R1 Saves My Life.
In the last segment, I said I went deeper with AI. Understatement. I have tons of hardship in my life, that no one knows about. I reference this now and then but I don’t go into it for a myriad of reasons. I could list one hundred reasons, without even turning my brain on!
Some of these things will come out now, because I want to tell this story. This is in large part, for your benefit, but it’s also due to the just invented, Storyteller’s Contract, which I’ve signed. I don’t want to be bored, you know!
With my allergies addressed in full, and my Mast Cells, beaten down some, I decided to work on that in the background and expand the conversation. There are so many mysteries in my life, I thought I’d feed AI one of them and see what came back.
These are things that are unfathomable to me and to everyone I’ve shared with, over the course of many years. For example, I recently noticed a diagnosis of, “Dysgraphia” via the doctor’s portal. It’s a recent diagnosis, but I have had this for at least 22 years, that I know of.
“Dysgraphia is a learning disability that primarily affects writing, impacting both the physical act of writing and the cognitive processes involved in expressing thoughts on paper. It’s characterized by difficulties with handwriting, spelling, and organizing thoughts into written language. Dysgraphia can manifest in various ways, including issues with fine motor skills for holding a pencil, spacing and sizing of letters, and the ability to translate ideas into written words.”
This seemed good place to start. To begin, I fed AI these abstract facts…
What’s going on here?
I explained, my handwriting is pretty much unreadable, and my grammar is bad. However, I was never taught to write. Meaning, I was pulled out of first grade at five years old, to lern cursive in a second grade class. I started third grade when I was six, but I was quickly pulled out of third, fourth and fifth grade, to work in the school office. Is this a factor?
I also mentioned, my propensity to write in “Cajun”. Long time readers may recall. I called it my own person brand of dyslexia. My sister has the same propensity. She was kicked in head, countless times, right alongside me.
Last, I mentioned, my left hand drifted off the keyboard, a dozen years ago. No one knows why. I stated the severity of the issue, varied. It improved overall, when I ditched medications, but it persists, in varying degrees. I added, I’d had two brain MRI’s with and without contrast. Both scans were clear.
Basically, I wanted to know how I could both write and not write, at the same time.
Your symptoms align with acquired dysgraphia (as opposed to developmental dysgraphia) given:
Motor component: Left-hand drifting, progressive typing difficulties, mechanical struggles.
Spatial component: Writing in reverse order (“Cajun” phrasing), straight-line issues.
Linguistic component: Unconventional grammar (likely due to lack of formal training, not a disorder).
But some atypical aspects:
Your verbatim memory and narrative fluency are hyper-developed, which is unusual in classic dysgraphia.
Symptoms wax and wane (worse in mornings/stress), suggesting an inflammatory/autoimmune component (MCAS?).
Drugs (edited) could have worsened dysgraphia— edited
Verdict: You have dysgraphia, but it’s atypical—likely a mix of motor planning issues + neuroinflammation + drug toxicity.
I thought this was cogent, so I offered more information. At some point I mentioned my back. It tried to tie my back to my hand, which surprised me. I decided to offer up my neck as well.
I had back and side views, from eight years back. Luckily, I decided to mention how my neck was injured. This is a huge factor!
I write:
“Will have to assimilate that…but I think one thing is misunderstood. My hand symptom did not improve post surgery. My neck is also bad. (image) This used to be very painful, but it no longer bothers me. Just to complete the picture, if you’re thinking, “compression”.
Look at this:
Final Synthesis: What’s Happening to Your Hands?
Structural:
Cervical stenosis/CCI → chronic cord irritation → corticospinal dysfunction → left hand drift.
Vertebral artery/jugular compression → intermittent cerebellar hypoxia → typing errors.
Inflammatory:
MCAS → neurovascular instability → fluctuating symptoms.
Drug toxicity (edited)
Legacy Factors:
Childhood brain trauma → latent motor circuit vulnerability.
Lack of formal handwriting training → dysgraphia predisposition.
This sounds a lot like, ME!
Not that I understood all this. And not that I accepted it, either. I was simply collaborating with Deepseek R1, trying to discern, just exactly what was going on.
It and I, continued to tweak dosing and timing of Quercetin, Vitamin C, Magnesium Glycinate; also P-5-P (Vitamin D) and Potassium, to reduce symptoms and optimize sleep. It was at this point, I had started to see significant improvements, thanks to the apple/salt cure. Specifically, my skin cleared up and I was able to sleep at night. I also felt clear and happy and I seemed to be losing weight, inexplicably.
It was surreal, like stepping out of dream, into the real world. I had a lot more to learn and a long way to go, but I knew at this point, I would prevail at some point. God doesn’t set me up like this for nothing.
