Saturday Night Warmup cancelled tonight....

Hello All,

I am really sorry but I cannot really host the show tonight and so have cancelled it for this week.

The reason for this late cancellation is that I am having a really annoying side effect from the new drugs that I am taking for my focal seizures and although they are doing the job well (i.e. I haven't had one since being on the new drug regime) I am getting a really annoying side effect which makes presenting a radio show pretty much impossible!

Basically the medical term is Dysarthria (i.e. Slurring of speech) and the drugs I am on are know to cause this in combination.

I am hoping that I will be fixed soon by possibly swapping out the new drug I was put on with another one but I am not sure how long this is all going to take.

Anyway, I am feeling perfectly well but it takes me a lot of effort to speak at the moment so I dont think it's wise me talking for 2 hours, hope you all understand and I am sorry...

Remember to get shitfaced though! :)

Could you just play the tracks instead? It's not the same, but it does give people their weekly unz!

Or you could do it like Stephen Hawking :) It would be "Speak and Skitz" (or more likely "Skitz and Spell") :)

Anyway, hope it pans out soon mate.

But seriously, i hope you feel better soon and the new drugs agree with you better.

Quick Update!

Been on a slightly altered dose of the same meds for the past week and still no change so as planned i will speak with my Doc tomorrow and the plan is to swap out the new drug which seems to have caused the side effect with one of the many anti-epilectic drugs out there.

will keep you informed but at the moment my show is on hiatus :(
