Do you know what I diagnosed myself with on WebMD? I think 99% of the people here find the dreaded @LS, but no, not me. I had lived in the UK during the 80's when my dad was stationed over there with the US Air Force at one of the bases. As a result of living over there I knew that I was blacklisted from donating blood because anyone over there at that time is deemed as being a potential carrier for Mad Cow Disease. So guess what I thought the twitching and neurological symptoms were a result of? Yep, Mad Cow... And there has only been 1 confirmed case in the United States in history!! Just 1... This is how I know fear is not logical or rational. Because I could convince myself that I was case number 2 after looking up the symptoms on WebMD.
