    ...one of my two favorite stepmothers (there were several others ….dad was a textbook example of the triumph of hope over experience), who also dreaded goodbyes, far beyond the normal sadness they engender, and never once, in more than a decade and a half, saw me off when I left after one of my...

    Actual Improvement in PEM with Probiotics - My N=1 Experience

    I have also suffered from the dreaded middle-of-the-night BM. It doesn't happen as regularly as it used to, fortunately. I've seen numerous GI doctors and they have all agreed this type of thing 'shouldn't happen' with mere IBS, being more typical of IBD or some other problem. Ultimately I think...

    ...I was going. If memory served me correctly, my most colorful moment of being adrift befell on a cool, windy day in Frankfurt. It was a much-dreaded, guilt-laden commitment, but because I took the pledge, I was ready to roll with the punches. The appointment time, location, and details were...

Note I haven't been around people except vaccinated husband who is only around people when shopping and then fully masked and staying as distant as he can. So it's unlikely my throat is from the dreaded thing but of course I'm nervous about that.

    Will You Be Getting the Covid Vaccine?

    ...The thought of contracting Covid is the first thing in my life that has terrified me. Not sure if I'd made been able to endure it.
