That's what I have though and believed. What threw my doctor and myself off
was the fact that I was feeling very short of breath. When I breathed in,
it was like I hadn't gotten any oxygen and couldn't wait to get the air out
and take another breath. My lungs weren't congested. Thinking back, it was
probably some CNS effect from the toxin that was making my airways reactive.
I was very sensitive to lights, sound, etc.

I also think the impending flu thing had a lot to do with it. I realize now
some of the pressure doctors live with. How would you like to be the one
that let Patient Zero for you community go home with the usual "It will
probably clear up in a day or two, call me if it doesn't." She was being
very conservative but this flu is killing children.

For the conspiracy theorists (No comment on believability, I just pass it
along): Latest urban legend is that the CDC knows a really bad pandemic or
epidemic is coming but is responding to pressure to downplay it until after
the Christmas shopping season so the economy doesn't take a hit that might
help put a democrat in the White House. Really ugly thought because
encouraging all those people to go out and mingle as they pump money into
the Bush re-election scenario will spread the germs around wonderfully.

I went to the "Return of the King" with my kids and their friends. Even
though I was clearly better, my wife made me drive separately and sit a row
away "Just in case". The people behind them hacked and gobbed through the
whole show

According to my microbiology professor years ago, "24 hour bugs" are
invariably
some form of food poisoning.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually
said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."
