I get it, completely...I was a marathoner/triathlete, and thought I was making up for all kinds of bad lifestyle choices...turns out, I was just a disciplined addict...

This is really interesting..I can relate! I rarely get sick...my last drink was March 5th..got a nasty cold March 15th..and I'm still not totally well. Just went back to the doc today for a second round of antibiotics for bronchitis and sinusitis. First round didn't work. I'm tired of being sick!! Hope you feel better soon!

I had a general unwell feeling - more like a cold or flu. Sniffles, chills, headache. It started after 2 wks. & stayed with me about a month.

Just want to send you some love L. Here's hoping you begin to feel wonderful very soon. So sorry for all you've been through healthwise.

Very well put.. It is funny how I thought I could somehow cheat.

A disciplined addict.

I like it
