Least I have my sense of humor! With my life, I have to.
It just hit me a little while ago. I have always maintained that my biology is completely backward from that of other people. Lots of people say that but very few people live up to it like I do.
Common wisdom is that whole grains are good for you. With Celiac disease, wheat products will literally kill you.
Low fat diet is the way to go. Yeah, not so much when you have an absorption disorder. A low fat diet means you'll starve to death.
Sugar is bad for you. Not when you're hypoglycemic.
ADD means I never know what a drug will do to me. Amphetamines calm my nerves. (Why I'm a coffee-holic.)
Now the latest twist. During the 1 days I stopped smoking, I kept getting sicker and sicker. Nicotine craving decreased but never stopped and got worse when my stomach ailments flared. Thought it was my imagination but always knew quitting smoking made me quite ill. Turns out smoking is a treatment for and preventive to ulcerative colitis. Seems smoking all these years has kept it at bay. It was not my imagination.
I have to laugh at it. It's not a choice.
