Brain Eating Zombie of the Day

I wasn't going to start outing people just yet, but this guy annoys me.

Nervous Nellies by Taylor Clark
Girls don't start out more anxious than boys, but they usually end up that way.

He recycles the oldest, tiredest arguments on this subject possible: child rearing and social expectations. And then claims "cutting edge research" corroborates his conclusions. It's all correlative studies and he blatantly dismisses all kinds of direct studies which prove anxiety is governed by physiological processes and affected by sex hormones.

It's just flat out crap.
And then he goes on and gets all pretentious at the end:
"So take heart, women of the world: You're not necessarily bioengineered to be worry machines."

Screw Yourself Buddy. It's attitudes like yours that leave us in this frakking nightmare. You clearly do not understand the first thing about high anxiety women.

Yeah.... such as.... you really shouldn't piss us off...

Silliness

I am deep in the brain tornado. Taking a sanity break.

Zombie Theme Song- I listened to this a lot when constructing the web site.

Zombie Fight Song
- The greatest rock song ever recorded. Put on your headphones and get a contact high from 1976. Sadly, Tommy slipped into the abyss later that year.

Acyclovir

Just thought I'd discuss dosing, since I never have.

Standard dosing is 800 mg of acyclovir per day.
I had to take 1200 to suppress my symptoms.

I am now on 1000 Valtrex instead. I like it better.
But if I go out in the sun I need to take another half tablet at night or I get headaches again.

Gluten used to nullify the effects immediately. Within an hour I would have a migraine. This last time it took about a week of cheating to feel the effects. I started getting a lesion so restricted my diet again.

I have another illness right now though. Your mileage may vary.

Anyhow, both my sister and my mother had intractable headaches for many years. I cringe at the thought of all the procedures they endured. They too went into complete remission within a week of acyclovir treatment.

You will have to pry those pills out of our cold dead hands....

Homework Assignment

Anyone with sleep disorders must get this book and read it.

Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye, by Ellie Phillips DDS

Narcolepsy is associated with strep bacteria and those live in your mouth. Sleep disorders cause mouth breathing and increased growth of bacteria.

I am currently writing up a hypothesis on how this all interacts with the gluten and viruses and everything else. In the meantime, do yourself a favor, and read the book.
