Some of JD's former hobbies (other than reading and editing Wikipedia articles):

Quantum John My personal blaugh.
I've had/have many health problems, but my contributions to Wikipedia are now limited by some of them. Some years ago I began suffering from Mild Cognitive Impairment which was slowly getting worse and got to the point where it was interfering with my job. Then I apparently got influenza and shortly after that I developed encephalitis which wrecked my mental abilities. People tell me I have recovered some from the worst of the encephalitis, but I am in a strange place where my thinking is confused more than it is clear, plus I still have serious short-term memory failure and related problems. My best mental success now comes when I have recently woken from the night or a nap, and sitting quietly alone in my bedroom, but I do not trust myself to make good edits most of the time.
Update on my brain function: I have been on a ketogenic diet for 4 weeks as of 20 Jan 2015, and there has definitely been some improvement. Whether the improvements are temporary, will stabilize, or will continue to improve remains to be seen. I go back to a neuropsychologist for a full reassessment in March 2015.
