I dont think you can read

I was agreeing with you that fibromyalgia is not a real diagnosis. However, anaphylaxis (I’m not talking about a few hives and an upset tummy) is a real diagnosis. I have seen it in my own child and treated it in ICU’s for 25 years. You dont get placed on a ventilator and epinephrine drips for psychosomatic illnesses

You didn’t offend me — you don’t have enough intelligence to be offensive. But nice try

I don’t think you know the meaning of the word “hyperbole”, but you do know the craft. Good for you!

>> I was agreeing with you that fibromyalgia is not a real diagnosis.

Upon review, I agree with you. My bad.

O-tay. Point taken. Now, how about mine? Last 25 years of ICU’s aside, you sidestepped my point completely. If anaphylaxis (& etc & etc) is an affliction for which to clear stadiums and tax the hell out of society, HOW DID WE GET THIS FAR as a species?

>> You didn’t offend me

Maybe I’ll get another chance.

>>you don’t have enough intelligence to be offensive. But nice try

Ouch! That stings. Where’s my epi-pen? (Review the hyperbole thing.)
