 * We are unable to give you any sort of medical advice here. You should either call qualified medical help or take your mother to some form of medical facility where she can be properly assessed by a qualified professional. I hope all goes well. Richard Avery (talk) 13:20, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Sounds like it could be some neurological issue whatever it is. Possibly a minor form epilepsy. medical advice redacted Seek out the advice of a community health worker, doctor, or whatever is available to you. If you can not afford one, attempt writing a letter to one or seek out assistance from the Red Cross of Red Crescent Society or some other Christian, Muslim, NGO, Charity Organization.Acdcrocks (talk) 02:45, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

You should approach the institution where you gained the qualification (assuming they still exist). They may be able to re-issue your qualification for you (though I suspect it won't come cheap). ny156uk (talk) 17:53, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * This is probably another case where a reader does a Google search for a school name, gets the Wikipedia article as the first hit, thinks it is the school's web site, and posts a question thinking it will be answered by a representative of the school. That's happened a number of times recently.  (If you click on "Help" in Wikipedia, it's quite easy to end up at this Ref desk.) Looie496 (talk) 22:16, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
