Pheos cause the headaches, palpitations, etc, which are usually perceived as a panic attack, not as rage. <BR/><BR/>The good news is that they are quite treatable, and once they are taken care of the symptoms go away.<BR/><BR/>You will find great information on how to manage your health at www.vhl.org<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>Joyce Graff<BR/>Cancer Research Fund / VHL Family Alliance<BR/>www.vhl.org / 800-767-4845joycegraffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164959605842344779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32243782.post-45254525811318728522007-04-11T21:14:00.000-07:002007-04-11T21:14:00.000-07:00Sean:More Guinness?

That’s funny, Sean.<BR/><BR/>Several years ago, when I was still in CA, I treated myself (as a birthday present) to a visit to the diet and nutrition guru who wrote a book I liked.<BR/><BR/>After submitting an honest, week-long food diary, in addition to blood and urine samples, I returned to his office for the results. He seemed <B>annoyed</B> that I was as healthy as my tests seemed to indicate! I asked what could account for my great cholesterol, etc. levels. “Wells it’s obviously all the cigarettes you smoke” he proclaimed with a sneer. What an ass-hole. <BR/><BR/>For this, I could have had EIGHT PAIR of $79 Ann Taylor shoes! What a rip.Barborahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09299043121614071384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32243782.post-55469947712873320982007-04-11T17:36:00.000-07:002007-04-11T17:36:00.000-07:00Peculiar.

So, you’re a McCoy! That’s wild. Are you prone to fits of violence and/or rage?<BR/><BR/>It sounds like they’re pretty successful treating VL-H. I would definitely share this information with my doctor! Odds are you <B>DON’T</B> have it.<BR/><BR/>I don’t mean this in ANY WAY racist, but I wonder if it’s limited to certain family populations, or is more prevalent among the Irish in general? It would explain terms like “the fighting Irish.” If it’s any consolation, among the Balts (Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians), Lithuanians have the reputation of being the hotheads. I’m Lithuanian, of course.<BR/><BR/>I thought you were Italian. In the photo you used to have posted, you looked just like the daughter of a friend of mine. She’s 100% Italian.Barborahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09299043121614071384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32243782.post-16557526533329196852007-04-11T06:23:00.000-07:002007-04-11T06:23:00.000-07:00break the generational curse Leila!
