Trinity Institute of Neuroscience. From molecules to mind. Trinity has been an anchor. Traumatic brain injury 1993 has left me with life of adventure mainly made up of being the outsider looking in. Add in anxiety, bipolar, cancer well enough about this. Horizon programme run by Dr Peggy Fine-Davis, Mary McCarthy, Professor McKeon from St. Patricks programme (search Trinity Horizon programme on canisgallicus.com) started me on a path of coping. Then I was accepted into BESS but sadly at the final hurdle my health gave into chronic fatigue which lasted over 6 years so I must be the only person who spend 7 years in Trinity and leave with no degree but all I can say is what I learned is the power of education, the probing of curiosity within the matrix of Trinity has given me a gilded life; it could have been so different as the book the “Birds Nest” explains. I remain within tentacles decades later. I follow Global Brain Health Institute; and am a participant to the TILDA project. Please support Trinity College Dublin, they have amazing researchers. In my virtual world I follow some of them and look for progress to identify in this world of mystery

Chronic Fatigue/ME saw me at my most distressed and for years. Many hospital visits and doctors all came to same conclusion basically I overworked my mental capacities. I am years recovered but this weekend I got a reminder, aches, shattering teeth, weak, no strength in body, pockets of severe pain in my back, hips, cognitive decline is worst. Exhaustion I just call it “Drop Dead Exhaustion” – no choices. I hope it does not return. Dr Austin Darragh refers to it as no energy from mithocondria in the cell. It definitely is about no energy, your body will not hold its weight and it maybe necessary to sit on the ground. The article below is from the Irish

Tribunals of Inquiry Irish Style: Apparently the first for the new Irish State involved my grandfather, Michael Comyn KC, and Ben Briscoe. Unlike now the duration of this Tribunal lasted just over 2 hours. Nostalgia for me but we never heard about this just about the fact that he was involved in Gold mining in Wicklow. This gives the narrative a twist. Source: Sunday Independent 17th June 2012. We were told the “Gold” was given to the Church for chalices and made up a wedding ring!!!

Life The tribunal that was over in just two hours Sun 17 Jun 2012 at 06:00 Long, costly and no one goes to jail at the end. That, pretty much, is the public perception of tribunals of inquiry in the … Continue reading →
