my grandmother used to make me go to the chinese doctor's when i was sick
and i hated it
for those of you who've ever had chinese medicine you'll know what i'm talking about
black vile bitter poison that was pure torture for a 2 year old kid to swallow
my parents literally had to pinch my nose and force that shit down my throat, screaming and kicking
but you know what, the medicine really worked as i rarely got sick from then on till ... come to think of it, till i started working in IB
and from then on i'd get sick periodically. every 4-6 months i'd be completely out of commission and had to spend up to a week at home.
you know how they say that if you're not happy you can subconsciously make yourself sick? i wonder if it's that. i used to fake being sick when i didn't want to go to school. now it's work (but i don't have to fake; i really get sick)
maybe we just never grow up ...
i like listening to this song when i'm sad. it makes me more sad but somehow it's very soothing

i had the same experience. although i don't consider work that bad. i can see you kicking and screaming.
Illnesses can be psychosomatic.
Oh, I LOVE that song - it's one of my fav songs ever. Have you heard the Judy Collins version? Fantastic...
I took han-yak for the first time last year. It gave me severe diarrhea for a week (I lost over ten pounds). I thought I was going to die.
Both Sides Now is a great song. It always makes me more sad though.
hey those medicine RULES!!! i love those shit!!!
