Ginger, maybe you'll get muscles?

Humorously, I swear I developed new definition in my abs from the strong-spazzy ( but thankfully short in each spasm) coughing I had after the last cold. It's one of those ok, but that's not how illness usually works. Ditto the weightless a couple folks have commented on. I'm all, um yeah, shitty way to do it, sum total 5 days no eating and 3 nonfunctional due to stomach bug or that cold in the last few months.

I cannot recommend any of it!

Gaspersize. It's the latest thing.

Oh, yeah, after several months of bronchitis a few years ago, my abs looked fabulous.

Our wings are not tired.

Damn, I have never had bronchitis. That must be why I have crappy abs. I knew there had to be a good reason.

Never? Wow. I thought it was one of those things that everyone got every few years or so.

My 3 siblings have had it a number of times, but never here. Apparently some level of natural immunity. Never had strep throat either despite all around me getting it. When I asked the doctor about the strep thing she said I probably did carry it, but didn't get symptoms. Seems like that would be less likely with bronchitis.

I had bronchitis at least once a year until a few years ago, when I switched to sinus infections. I missed weeks and weeks of school, because the teachers would send me home for coughing. My mother was always battling to keep me in class, because I coughed for weeks after the disease itself was gone.

This Nightline Prime is about Munchausen by Internet, and the psychologist they interviewed said, "I call it Munchausen by Internet." I doubt he was the first to call it that.

I had pneumonia once, but not bronchitis as far as I'm aware...

I did get weighed at the doctors office today, and am rather dismayed at the number.

Took three Advil, and I'm feeling better, but I know it's temporary.

I haven't been losing weight lately, and I don't know why. I know why I gained during the semester, but I figured that, once the semester was over, and I could get back to eating healthy, then I'd lose the weight. But, not at all. It's annoying me, a lot.
