It looks like more and more diseases have infalmation as a componet. from what I have been reading ( and yu may dismiss everything - as I am not a doctor ) most chronic conditions have inflamation. As in there are doctors looking at diabetes, heart disease , etc and seeing inflamation as the 'root' cause. and the cause of inflamation --- overly processed food ( for a reality check here - the disease have been around forever - but the rise in these conditions is not weight , but what we eat)
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I've definitely read that about heart disease, since I tend to stay up on research in that area. And I don't doubt it about diabetes, either (I read less in that area, although since my dad has it, I need to keep an eye on such things).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You don't mean point five, right, Jilli?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Heh, no. 5mg.
May I please have hairpats and soothing noises? My Impostor Syndrome and my issues (library of issues, really) about my being responsible for taking care of All The Things collided kind of spectacularly last night, leading to a rather big meltdown. My eyes were still so swollen this morning that I couldn't apply liquid liner.
Ugh. Good thing therapy is on Monday, because hoo-boy, do I have stuff to talk about.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh, I hate those nights, Jilli. Here, have a cup of chocolate tea and a cupcake.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You are not an imposter, Jilli. That library of issues lies.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Here is how I know you're not an impostor:
Who could you possibly impersonate? I suppose you could take a crack at Robert Smith, but you'd break into giggles and the smeared lipstick would drive you bonks.
You're Jilli, you're the only one who could possibly be you, and you're the best at it in every single way.

It is known.

Compassionately intolerant
I really, really need to reduce inflammation in my body. Turmeric, eh? Must research.
In totally shallow news, I must share my joy that Cagney has almost calmly lasted through 5 human therapy sessions in a row. I can't even say how happy this makes me.
I'm not going to count any unhatched poultry but I suddenly have hope I've not had in 15 months.
Bless the little bugger.

Stephan, my nutritionist friend says to avoid food from the nightshade family (peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant) because they promote inflammation.
