so gran is hoping to suck your researchers' brains for this one and puttin' the Uncle Wiggily mojo that she can bend you to her will for a measly buck fiddy. any takers? http://vampirerpg.free.fr/Disciplines/Telergi.html pt. being ruled out for some weird allergic symptoms: chronic/irritating/productive cough, PND, SOB recently on Levaquin and Z-Pak. checking the home for environmental exposure -- nothing definitive found. Dx is: 1. Chronic cough. 2. Allergic rhinitis. 3. Telergy (question mark). so what is this here *telergy*? this is a new one on granny. she's had 3 sets of ears listen and all concur it's telergy, so she's not ready for her Beltone fitting just yet -- unless we need some sort of package deal. doc is fairly clear, but ESL, possibly Mesoamerican. could this be a telephone allergy from too many political calls? gran had a recent and severe exacerbation with a total of 17 ring-a-ding Democrats on Friday. gotta move on down the road to the next mystery word, so I'm leaving this for a hopeful and kindly assist. unplugged 'til Tues. {cough}, GB |

Just call me Little Pink Riding Hood. I'm always glad to go skipping through the words to help Gran. But, Granny, what a big intellect you have! It does appear that there's a non-X-Files meaning of "telergy." Below I've reposted the material I found, in exchange for the goodie-bag with the buck fitty in it. From Stedman's Online Medical Dictionary, 27th Edition: "telergy... Syn: automatism" Stedman's Medical Dictionary: telergy http://216.251.232.159/semdweb/internetsomd/ASP/1572657.asp "automatism... The state of being independent of the will or of central innervation; applicable, for example, to the heart's action. An epileptic attack consisting of stereotyped psychic, sensory, or motor phenomena carried out in a state of impaired consciousness and of which the individual usually has no knowledge. A condition in which an individual is consciously or unconsciously, but involuntarily, compelled to the performance of certain motor or verbal acts, often purposeless and sometimes foolish or harmful. Syn: telergy [G. automatos, self-moving, + -in]" Stedman's Medical Dictionary: automatism http://216.251.232.159/semdweb/internetsomd/ASP/1494102.asp I located this with the help of one of my favorite sites, OneLook.com: OneLook Dictionary Search http://onelook.com/?w=telergy&ls=a Thanks for a strange quest! See you & Uncle Wiggily next time. Best always, Pink |

Stedman's Medical Dictionary sez that telergy is automatism: http://216.251.232.159/semdweb/internetsomd/ASP/1572657.asp Same source sez this about automatism: "automatism... The state of being independent of the will or of central innervation; applicable, for example, to the heart's action. An epileptic attack consisting of stereotyped psychic, sensory, or motor phenomena carried out in a state of impaired consciousness and of which the individual usually has no knowledge. A condition in which an individual is consciously or unconsciously, but involuntarily, compelled to the performance of certain motor or verbal acts, often purposeless and sometimes foolish or harmful. Syn: telergy [G. automatos, self-moving, + -in]" http://216.251.232.159/semdweb/internetsomd/ASP/1494102.asp |

thanks a million! tweren't in my offline Taber's or Stedman's Derm/Immuno and wasn't listed at the online Dorland's. I kept running into the whogga-bogga meaning that led me to believe a Democrat must've put a donkey cough hex on her. got way off the scent trail but it was an interesting trek. weird I've never encountered this word before in {mumble, mumble} years. please deposit in answer field and do kindly tell me your SS. |
