I had to backboard someone the other day and I did it wrong. I had to stare at it and finally someone stepped in and fixed it in seconds, for something I've been good at for years! Its getting frustrating and I'm only 21. No drugs, no smoking, perfect BMI and rarely drink. I don't take any meds. But I'm beginning to think something is up. What kind of doctor would I go for something like this?
Alex,

There could be any number of things causing this .....from sleep apnea, to a blood disorder, or just plain stress...etc.....it would probably be in your best interest to consult physician and get some labs done.....if they don't find anything now and it gets worse at least there will be some of the possiblities ruled out....

Take care....

In my 20's I had memory problems, too.

Usually right after burning a great big doobie.

I kept forgetting NOT to stop at the bar after work, too.

As to the alcohol thing: I can count on one hand the amount of times I've consumed alcohol in the past 365 days

Excuse me? I'm going to assume you're referencing me?

I posted factual information that is backed by science. How about yourself?

You posted hearsay that has yet to be even remotely proven, and backed by billion dollar alcohol companies.
You posted a link, cherry picked a FRAGMENT of the article to try and prove your silly stance that alcohol is SOMEHOW "good for you".
Conveniently leaving out all the PROVEN negatives from your copy/paste.

You never responded to my post because its you that is the angry troll.

'Trolling' generally doesn't involve factual, respectful debate and this is why you are the troll "fordgunsmerica".

Whats with this new breed of internetters shouting 'troll' at someone every time they get told they are wrong and shot down by facts?
Seriously, Get a grip bud. You don't get to label people trolls because they factually disagree with your warped/bias stance on something. That's just not how it works. It's pretty obvious what I'm up against here - ignorance, and I'm fine with that, but don't go throwing labels at me because you don't like facts.

No doubt he was.

Dude, your 'alcohol is a drug' post was clearly driven by your agenda. In this case, said agenda was not relevant to the OP.

Start a new thread if you want to talk about alcohol so much.

The only agenda I had with that post was to clear up the misinformation spread by an uninformed poster claiming alcohol is good for you, along with the classic morale high ground stereotype that alcohol is somehow not a 'drug'.
False and False.That's all..

Let's face it, "Growing old ain't for Wussies".

First it was my teeth, then my hair, now my eye's, and my seplling is beginnnin to suffer the effects, too.

I almost forgot to mention you start growing hair in places other than your head, too.
