Crazy-making!!!

My favorite quote from Elyn Saks, a wonderful woman who came forward about her schizophrenia:

She was writing about some episodes, including quoting herself saying "I'm God, or I used to be," (among other things) and her husband as he was proofing it for her wrote in the margin, "Did you quit or were you fired?"

Can I quit or be fired from ME/CFS??? Would be REALLY nice!!!!

I would like to see House figure this out in a 48 minute episode. I would definitely go back ot watching the show.
