Lots of those "syndromes" have remedies, such as meds, that would make your life easier. And that hateful Blogger! To treat you like a robot when all of us know you have such a tender human heart!

I think she's reminding me to read her books. It's kind of nice to see her!<br /><br />Linda, I don't remember if I have ever mentioned the apple thing to my doctor. I know I have never mentioned the red peppers and the melons. One of my sisters has similar problems and her doctor told her she has some sort of syndrome. She has other weird food sensitivities as well. I have some oddball things going on in my own body (not counting all the spine problems) and have had to make other dietary changes. My doctor seems to think that I have some sort of syndrome, too,and has pretty much told me not to worry about it. I might mention it the next time I have a check up but his eyes will probably light up and he'll start talking about syndromes again!<br /><br />As for giving up non food items: I think JRW ought to to threaten to give up Blogger unless Blogger agrees to stop being so heartless! Yesterday I had to try seven times to prove that I am not a robot! Blogger simply refused to take my word for it. That hurts! And only a human being can experience hurt feelings, right? Therefore I am NOT a robot! The only good thing Blogger has done lately is to allow Elaine to float around the page.<br /><br />It's interesting that you were able to add coffee back to your life,in moderation. I don't know if I could give up both coffee AND tea!

The body was found with a box of Milk Duds. Back then I was naive enough to think I needed permnission to use the brand in the book. It took me so long to get no answer that I changed the candy to Cadbury's - which was another company that had changed hands many times in the last century - with no ill effects.Rosemary Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033747422699443024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-64867533533888802422012-06-04T16:14:10.203-04:002012-06-04T16:14:10.203-04:00Sorry Reine,

You know what I'm talking about, right? Just thinking about that skit makes me laugh.<br /><br />Rationing reading would be so hard. I would call that quality-of-life issue, in fact. These days I'm dealing with my mom's dementia (stressful), and the one thing she has that's safe thus far is reading novels. I can't imagine what she'll do if she can't read...<br /><br />I think I overfilled my cup with wheat products--all those bagels in my 20s and 30s! It's amazing how much better I feel when I minimize gluten--but it's hell-of hard.
