Re: Things you didn't know about me!
I haven't posted for a while because I have been suffering from an extremely rare disease called vitamin B-12 polyneuropathy. It is so rare that the cheap-bunned HMO flew in specialist from San Diego and Seattle. It turns out I am very allergic to vitamin B-12 and if I don't get it, the nerves in my body start dying. It is official, I am now allergic to the whole planet, everything on the planet, and myself as well. So I have been taking immuno-suppresants and then getting vitamin injections directly into my liver. And I used to think taking Flinstone Chewables was bad.
And the worst part of it all is that all the people with real diseases that have cool names think they can kick my butt because is there anything that sounds more sissy than vitamin B-12 polyneuropathy? No, I didn't think so. At least it isn't cancer. I need to thank God for that tender mercy.
