AS most of you who know me by now, I take my playing psuedo seriously. And from most who play with me see, my score patterns in most matchs, are usually on top if not within the top three..sure thats great and all, but its been more fun playing with dfb memebers  than my concern about my score.

However, some who play with me often, may have  noticed a heavy decline in my game, sure we all have bad days, but this was a streak I couldn't accept. So I kept playing in hopes to get back on my feet. 

WELL last night, playing with matt and glimmer, spawn,posty etc etc, i was running the flag, and typical routine, except, right before the score was solid, I became a little light headed, no big, happens when your in a crunch and your running from matt in that fucking dark walker hah. But the second time the flag was in my hands, I capped it again, however..last night i quickly left afterwards...Well i was so wrecked from the run, it concerned me, i didnt think the game was effecting me that badly, im no n00b, ive done it 1000000 times. But this time, my heart was beating so hard, I couldn't see straight..I was out of breath and I felt sick to my stomach. So I left and went to lay down.

Well i went to the doctor today, and found out, that due to a muscular growth pushing against my adrenalin gland, I was getting a small rush that was basically running my head out of adrenalin because it wasnt stopping the gland from running. And  it was causing me to be sick, have blurred vision,numb and unable to focus on solid objects.

Here's the part where you all come in, if you find yourself getting overly emotional or highly anxious when certian aspects of the game are in play that cause your nerves to become hyper active, you maybe exersizing the portion of your brain that causes this muscular growth, its not harmful, its not deadly, just annoying. But according to the doctor, people who do extreme sports or are thrill seekers usually get it. However in recent studies people who play video games with high resolution details and heavily focused aiming systems that require heavy eye concentration and strategic analyzation have been found to enduce this situation as well.. Needless to say, the doc's perscription was an anti-inflammatory and about 3-4 days break before I pick up again..

Just as a warning, those who dont take breaks to unwind or calm down, this can lead to Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) which can cause random panic attacks and lead to heart palpitations and even heart attack unprovoked.

Ill be in to chat, but just wanted to let you guys know about this condition if anyone else is the same, please go get checked out, ill see most of you on TS tonight!


Thanks
