At some time in the past, the tendency to exaggerate drove this. Thus any cold
was described a the flu' and any bad headache 'a migraine'. Soon any overactive
child was diagnosed with ADHD and medicated with something like Ritalin; a huge
proportion of the population decided that they are gluten intolerant with no
evidence whatsoever (it's bad for a very few so it must be a BAD THING); milk
became medicine despite the fact that whole milk is 96% fat free (and the
semi-skimmed rubbish that the English drink almost to a person tastes lousy); -
make your own list, mine is extensive.
Restless Leg Syndrome sounds like an inability to stay in one place for long -
clearly encouraged by a rampant, evil tourism industry. I'm also fond of
'Confrontational Disorder' - I think I've got it and I'm keeping it!
Recently I used a drug that had a significant de-inhibiting effect (in me at
least). After a while. I found that I'd spent rather a lot on collectible
cameras and ther interesting stuff online (and i thrift/charity shops). I think
I was suffering from 'Iatrogenic Ebay Syndrome'.
Loadofbollocks.
Attack. Strike back.
"I'm gluten intolerant."
"Really? Have you had the blood test?"
"I've got a migraine."
"What sort of aura do you get?"
