Hi all, occasional lurker here (whenever I'm in a cycle!), and the beast is playing stabbie with my (left) eye/temple/neck these days so I'm back on the research.

I'm wondering if there's a connection between people who suffer from CH and a predisposition towards either artistic pursuits (music, drawing/painting, poetry/literature, etc) and/or intellectually inclined endeavors such as scientific studies, philosophy, etc.

That covers a lot of ground, I know, but *most* people aren't terribly artistic and don't spend their internetting time researching the meaning of life or what the latest news in string theories and particle colliders. Heh.

Also, whether one's interests are connected to which side their monster lives on.

I'll be the first to answer.

I'm an extremely prolific composer and writer, and am also highly educated in a broad spectrum of the sciences and philosophy. I am episodic, and it's left-sided.

Curious to see the results.

"Philosophers have attacked the concept of the unconscious on the grounds that it violates Ockham's razor, is in principle unverifiable, or fails to generate predictions about behavior. Another, more persistent criticism is that the concept is logically incoherent because it implies a mind-body dualism. According to this claim, Freud's concept of the “unconscious” contains at least implicitly the assumption that not only are mind and body two different kinds of entities or substances but that mental states are connected to physical events. Mind-body dualism, in turn, is said to imply that mental states and physical events are isomorphic with one another (psychophysical parallelism) or that they are causally reciprocal (interactionism). But since psychophysical parallelism and interactionism are logically inconsistent, the hypothesis of unconscious mental states on which they are based, so the argument goes, must be incoherent."

I cant juggle.

i love contempary christian music and classic rock n roll. ( i still find it hard to think of the music i grew up with is now called classic)
i cant juggle,sing, or speak with great intelligent but like to think i have a little wisdom to share(please don't pop my bubble)
i love art but i am very picky about what is called art. not just blobs of paint that make rich people more pompous.
i study theology on my own

BTW   I just took an on-line I.Q. test that put my I.Q. at 135.  As a child I tested as "gifted"...... Maybe I am smarter than your average bear!

I doubt that it's even as high as 135. LOL !  How accurate could an on-line test really be?  I just did it for grins!  I was in the "gifted class"  in grade  school though.  Both of my children tested into the "Gifted program" as well.   I have a friend that has a child whose I.Q. is 140.  He is very smart but lacks social skills and has a very difficult time playing with other children.  I would rather have a child that is of average or slightly above average intelligence than one who is very smart and cannot relate to others.   Just my opinion.

BTW, that's very interesting that I.Q. can only be tested accurately up till age 8.  I had often wondered how it could be measured accurately due to the vast differences in environment and exposure to higher education.

 neither can I- sadly my 7 year old can though-

right sided episodic.  No artistic talent- so bad that my college drawing professor ( had to take one....) said he thought i had a learning disability because I couldn't understand 'perspective'.   Luckily I remembered that  my mom is an artist and she helped just a little on those projects when I'd bring my laundry home on the weekends...

can't sing or dance either and definitely can't read music.   I can match clothes though and thank goodness my husband values that art...

have a  masters degree, fairly analytical,  a little too hypervigilant, and of course keep getting dumber the older I get...
