Yes, I've never known anyone older than 30 as a multiple who had not had a large number of ailments and/or accidents. I attribute much of it to the constant stress, heartache and hiding of childhood. I was tired by the time I was 10 and began to have headaches and gut troubles in my teens, ran through a plate glass door, had total of at least 6 surgeries....blah, blah and blah!
Many doctors slapped a psychosomatic label in my illnesses while forgetting to explain what that meant really. It really meant that the stress in my mind wore me down until I got physical problems as well as psych problems - NOT that it was "all in my head" like I was some freak who couldn't handle the tough parts of life without getting sick over it.
If those same doctors had a childhood like mine they probably would have spent their life going to the doctor, not studying to be one. The few physicians I've met who had genuine compassion were treasures and I appreciate them. Now that I know the truth about my past and my frailties I try to stay off my own back as often as possible. The weight is a real killer!
