My mind is weird
Something I forgot to mention, but that was significant for me today, is that typically, when I get bad health news, my immediate impulse is to start thinking about dieting. I know better than to listen to the impulse, but it's stronger the worse the news is, because (this is my theory, anyway) I want to be able to control things.
Another reason that Dr. Peng is awesome is that I asked her if diet and/or exercise would have any effect on my condition, and she thought for a second and said, "No, not really. I mean, the better your health is, sometimes the better you can [tolerate the annoying symptoms], but really, I wouldn't knock myself out about it if I were you."
This really helped me shut down my sick diet impulses today. I only ALMOST bought a diet-and-exercise tracker in the Kaiser pharmacy. ;-)
