If we don't talk about it and pretend it isn't there, maybe problems will just disappear.

 

I agree about breast cancer.

 

Me too... I think breast cancer is awful (my mother in law died of it  before I even got to meet her) but it seems like cancer is the only health problem that people seem to care about.  And the American Cancer Society calls itself "The Official Sponsor of Birthdays."

That happens to me when I forget to take my medication for preventing migraines and tremors to the left side of my body caused by the bout with viral encephalitis I suffered several years ago.

 

I end up feeling terribly run down for at least a day, and to top it off I usually end up with a migraine.

Medicine - a blessing and a curse, eh? The nausea has gone away, as I've been eating more, but my brain is still feeling so bizarre. It's like the feeling you get in your stomach when you're on a roller coaster and you do that first huge drop, except it's my brain doing the drop.  :spike:
