Oh, good heavens, you do have a full load! Hope your kid is doing okay?

Maybe you could arrange to 'slip' and fall and be hurt and have them run some tests on YOU while you're there?

You never know about the allergies, though I'd think it more a symptom at this point than an answer. After my treatment (treatment, mind, not the cancer), my immune system basically thumbed its nose at me and gave up on everything ... and I developed the oddest allergies to add to the list I already had. It took a couple years for things to settle down and get a grip after that. Still have the allergies, but at least I can tell what they are now, instead of just reacting to everything. Sigh. Life is weird.
