*snip long list of symptoms*
Wow. I went through that list and it was basically "check, check, check..." I wonder if I should look into this a little more closely?

Good, I'm not the only one. Unfortunately I'm slightly prone to being a hypochondriac*, but I've always wondered if I had some ADD in me. (Don't mean it that way.) While self diagnoses is bad, I'll see if the local libraries have those books.
I really don't think it's from advertising but I've always wondered if I should feel different, if there was some drug I could take to be normal. Not depression, just my lack of social skills and paying attention. Something to think about.

*It's inherited. I though I had MS or MD for a while, but I did the hot water test and had no trouble. The other side of the coin, there is stuff I know is wrong with me and I ignore and don't tell my doctor. I've said before, my family history is good: long lives and cancer the only common factor. I'm weighing that against my problems.
