It tells of my experience with a viral infection of the spine, menges and brain, back in 2005.

Na, no need.I recovered, no permanent damage done (that I know of). Though I am incredibly ticklish which I wasn’t before, and I no longer have a fear of heights… which I had before. But there are probably missing memories still. They drenched and steeped me in antiviral drugs… which kills not the virus but the infected cells. So that was a whoping swathe of me gone. But, interesting experience. Wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

Two excellent doctors received me at A&E, dosed me with drugs immediately. At that point I was drifting in and out of consciousness.

I can relate to this, too, from my days on chemotherapy — and ever since. 😉

I’ve noticed, these past few days as I seek out the truth of covid, that it’s also an effect of overdosing on information

So is this on a literal sense of the words or a poetic sense?

It was inspired by viral infection of the central nervous system way back in 2005…. from which my presence here declares I recovered!

You went through a difficult medical ordeal, and came out of it able to write tight and poetic and thought-provoking material like this. Well done!

I think it’s called determination. Not a word that was often applied to me. Maybe I needed that hefty kick to settle it in. And that determination hasn’t left me.

Good! Three cheers to determination. I think it certainly helps us in our writing life, also.

I’d say it’s essential. Which is probably why I needed to that virus before I could stick at it, despite I’d been attempting to publish a novel since I’d been in my teens 🙂

The virus is infecting our minds, giving us so much depression! Working on staying calm, myself.

In my case, the virus was 15 years ago. For now… a certain tiredness, but that’s probably cos I pulled something in the lower back last weekend, and painkillers or not, it wears you out.
I find work… writing… is the best antidote to what’s going on

I’m glad to hear your back is healing.
If it weren’t for WP and and your positive remarks things would seem more dismal. It’s lonely out here sometimes, especially now when real friends are needed. The friends you care about.
