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 :)
You have such talent; please don't waste it. Your writing is poetic and you
could easily become a freelance writer working from home etc. I used to visit
the MSN body odor board and found there are many people with talents like yours.
At one time they were putting together an anthology, you could probably submit
your writing too. I've been told I have writing talent too and have won numerous
writing competitions even though English is my third language. Anyway, please
don't be discouraged there's lots of hope and I know you can bring the symptoms
under control with the diet and supplementation. I've brought my down
significantly since joining this group four years ago. I would love to read more
of your writing so please keep sharing.
Mercy.

I agree, I am actually an aspiring writing teacher! Maybe you guys can create a blog post on this! Isn't it funny at times of our greatest angst we reveal our most amazing talents? Susanne

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.
