I just found your blog and I love this post. ...Hi! I just found your blog and I love this post. I should never go on WebMD, because I always self-diagnose terrible things (Lupus and MS are favorites).

Fun!<BR/><BR/>I have actually had....<BR/><BR/>*Scarletina (related to Scarlet fever; did not start outbreak)<BR/>*Chicken Pox <BR/>*Repeated ear infections (ages 11-13)<BR/>*Migraine headaches (ages 12-14)<BR/>*Many, many urinary tract infections (age 22 to present)<BR/>*Ogliomennorhea / Polycystic ovaries<BR/>*Clinical Depression<BR/>*Food poisoning (Once from seafood pasta at Tavern on the Green, once from steak tartare at a bistro elswhere in Manhattan. Never on my many trips to 3rd world countries where such things are supposed to happen)<BR/>*Unidentified skin rash, contracted in Cameroon<BR/>*Irritable bowel syndrome<BR/>*Unexplained periods of extreme fatigue, vertigo, muscle aches, and parasthesias (weird tingling sensations) in limbs<BR/><BR/>Things I've convinced myself that I have, mostly for lack of a definitive diagnosis from medical professionals, except for the last one:<BR/><BR/>*Multiple Sclerosis (see last item in list above; there actually is some evidence to support this theory. Fortunately none lately.)<BR/><BR/>*Arachnoiditis (extreme back pain after a botched spinal tap testing for the above)<BR/><BR/>*Lupus (see: MS)<BR/><BR/>*Fibromyalgia (ditto)<BR/><BR/>*Lyme disease (ditto)<BR/><BR/>*Hypothyroidism (ditto)<BR/><BR/>*Mono (ditto)<BR/><BR/>*Brain tumor (I think everybody thinks this at one time or another, don't they?)<BR/><BR/>*Cyanide poisoning from a Clark bar obtained on Halloween circa 1983 when there was a poisoning scare. I'd never had a Clark bar before, and didn't know it was supposed to have a powdery texture. I ran inside from the back yard in a panic, certain that death was imminent.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041039260443501706noreply@blogger.com
