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},

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:

Thanks for a strange quest! See you & Uncle Wiggily next time.

Best always,

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]"

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.

Granny B,

Thanx muchly for the stars and the tippage! I do love a good
word-hunt. Reminds me of the smell of nepenthe in the morning. But by
afternoon I've forgotten all about it.
