CINDI/PICKY EATER AND RA

[Guest guest]

HI.

I WILL HAPPILY NSWER THIS POLL.

1. YES, ALL MY YEARS BEFORE ABOUT 20, I WAS A VERY, VERY PICKY

EATER. I WOULD EVEN THROW UP AT THE TABLE IF THE FOOD HAD A FUNNY

SMELL OR JUST LOOKED BAD TO ME. THIS WAS COMPLICATED BY THE VACT

THAT MY FATHER WOULD NEVER LET US LEAVE THE TABLE UNTIL ALL OUR

PLATES WERE COMPLETELY CLEAN AND WE COULD ONLY HAVE ONE SMALL GLASS

OF MILK SO YOU COULD NOT JUST WASH SOMETHING DOWN. IT IS ONE OF

SEVERAL OF THE WORST MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD, NO LAUGHING WAS

ALLOWED AT THE TABLE OR CONDIMENTS, LIKE KETCHUP ALLOWED ON THE

TABLE, JUST SALT AND PEPPER.

2. YES, JUST BEFORE MY SYMPTOMS OF RA BEGAN, I HAD A DIFFERENT

JOB THAN THE ONE I HAD WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED. I WAS GOING THROUGH

HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE STRESS THERE THAT I WILL NOT GET INTO AND ALSO AT

THE TIME HAD CONTRACTED PERTUSSIS OR WHOOPING COUGH AND WAS IN

ISOLATION FOR 7 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL, I HAD DEVELOPED A HYATIAL

HERNIA IN MY CHEST THAT I STILL HAVE, AND IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME

AT THIS JOB.

HOW ARE THESE FOR EXTREME SYMPTOMS TO YOUR POLL ? CINDI HEIN
