Sorry Jean bur I'm sorrier than you

[Guest guest]

Dear jean,

I really, really am very sorry for what I wrote. The thought that I might have upset you is upsetting me! When I first read your post I took it at face value and then rushed around looking things up for you. Then the gremlins set in and said "I wonder what she really means", and gradually they convinced me that everyone is a nasty piece of work like me. With a subject like herbalism and alternative medicine, some people are so very skeptical that they find the suggestion of it insulting to their condition; like it could never help them because they are far too sick for that. I thought that maybe you were insulted by me and that you were letting me know. I shouldn't judge people as if they all acted like me, should I!!!! I'm a little over sensitive at times, and I suffer from a panic disorder too. Actually, at the next Olympic games I am going to represent the NF2 world in the event of "jumping to the wrong conclusion" because I have sure proved myself a gold medal prospect, haven't I!!!!!

Hey, as for the taping eyes question, ICU at my work uses patches of plastic lunch wrap to cover patients' eyes. They stick it on with petroleum jelly or lacrilube, and it keeps the eye area moist and humid like a greenhouse. My ophthalmologist recommends sleeping with a bowl of water in the room to humidify the air. I just use heaps of lacrilube because I ripped the tape and plastic wrap off in my sleep.

Yours humbly and feeling like a big, nasty bitch,

Emese.
