Endometriosis | A pain in the…pelvis

Cloris Leachman is very funny. High Anxiety proved it. Remember those pointy breasts as Nurse Diesel? Still, I didn’t know how raunchy she could be until I saw her roast Bob Saget. Oooh, child!
Then she kept the censors for Dancing with the Stars jumping every time she was on air this past season [...]

Quit Smoking | Cold Turkey

“Smokin’ in the Boys Room” is a pretty popular song. “Everybody knows that smokin’ ain’t allowed in school.” (Didn’t the songwriter know “ain’t” ain’t a word?)
One of my classmates got caught smoking when he was 10 years old. Do you know what his father did to punish him? He made him smoke two packs [...]

MVP | Mitral Valve Prolapse, not Most Valuable Player

Most people think MVP stands for “Most Valuable Player,” but not me. I don’t watch any sports except figure skating and gymnastics during the Olympics, and tennis. (BTW, Kim Yu Na is the Olympic Gold Medalist in figure skating. Go, Korean sista, go!)
Back to MVP: should there really be such an honor? Why do [...]

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (Video) | Ears Burning?

Ears burning? Maybe someone is talking about you! It’s like that Bonnie Raitt song, “Something to Talk About.” Or– could it be that you’re paranoid or super egocentric?
Really, in the end, it doesn’t matter what people think about you– but then again, as I’ve learned on Wisteria Lane (i.e. Desperate Housewives), it does [...]

Know Your Meds | The Case of the Mistaken Pill

Mistaken identity is pretty common. Don’t you hate it when you think you see a friend, and you call out her name and wave– only to receive a puzzled response from a complete stranger?
In that situation, you can a) Pretend you’re trying to greet someone else in the room, so the stranger doesn’t think [...]

Nasal Polyps | And other nose traffic jams

Maggie Moo, our beloved hound, sniffs everything. Her nose is like a bank of knowledge. We can drive somewhere, and without even looking out the window, she can smell where she is. If we drive to the vet, her nose tips her off, and she starts to shake with dread. When we drive to the [...]

Fecal Incontinence | More than just a slip

“Let Go and Let God” is an expression I’ve heard for a couple of decades. I still haven’t mastered it. Actually, I can’t really say I’m trying to master it. Well, really… oh, never mind. The point is that some things are just out of our control, like the weather, traffic, and Lindsay [...]

Peyronie’s Disease | Nature throwing men a curve ball

Crooked teeth, crooked painting on the wall, Enron executives. There are many crooked things in life. I had crooked teeth most of my life until I got braces at the age of 36. I wear my retainer every single dingle night to keep them straight– the only thing straight about me.
What happens with [...]
