Re: [Trimethylaminuria] Miserable day

I know what it means to have one of those days, I bet we all can.  I also know what it feels like to wish you were someone else.  You think they all look like their lives are perfect, but even it their lives they may have their own problems.   Well  some people smell who don't haveTMAU, and some of those people may have other problems worst than yours.  (Which I know is hard to believe, but true)  I understand the flustration of doing your test again, because I also had to take the test again, and actually went to Dr. Preti lab for my second test, and the results were negative, although I smell, and have the symptoms of TMAU.  Keep your head up, thank God you are otherwise healthy, and know your not alone.  You said you were in Central Park, I wish I was you, it must be beautiful there, and I have been to NYC, but never Central Park, and today the weather was great, I imagine all the flowers, and a pond, and the trees swaying in the breeze, take a deep breath and exhale, and let go just for a moment, and enjoy the peacefulness of the day.

Subject: [Trimethylaminuria] Miserable day

 

Well today was horrible on so many levels for me. I'm going to have to go temporarily off the low choline diet for a few days to retest (as I explained before) due to the first test being "compromised" , they should get to my test asap as soon as they receive it (i send it out on monday).

I scribbled a note on my cell phone (not the best notetaking device) while sitting alone in Central Park burning some time before a doctor's appointment this morning. Figured I would share it with some people that might be able to understand and relate:

"As I sit on what ostensibly seems to be a nice day, on a ledge on the edge of Central Park, I glance at the hundreds of people who have passed by. I can't help, but imagine that I would kill to trade places with any one of them. The teens playing ball in the park, even the charity field trips of inner-city kids who couldn't dream of the resources I've had at my disposal, the lover sitting on a park benches, the motivated joggers, the wide-eyed tourists. I'm not sure about the homeless man sleeping under that tree, but the fact that there is doubt about that answer in my mind is symptomatic of how I feel today."

Meh, not exactly Wilde, but it was on a cell phone :)
