The Age of Disorders....

We live in a time where there's a pill for everything.

Tired? take a pill
Depressed? take a pill
Moody? take two pills
Smoking? take a pill, and some gum
Restless legs? (seriously, if your legs are feeling particularly restless today) take a pill

So, apparently we all now have the power to create our own syndrome!

Here are a few I've cooked up that I'm SURE that I have,and many others too....

• TTFW syndrome: when one is Too Tired For Work on a daily basis.
  
  
• UTCYDFM syndrome : the horrible occurrence of being Unable To Cook, You Do it For Me syndrome (now this is serious!)
  
  
• MFSNR syndrome : Now this affects people of all ages, and it's called the My Feet Sure Need Rubbin' syndrome and it's a doozy.

Ok, so these are silly, but here are a few that sound just as ridiculous, but are no joke, the real deal:

• FLOPPY-VALVE SYNDROME: Mitral Incompetence due to myxomatous degeneration of the leaflets. (I don't know where my leaflets are, but I'm pretty sure they aren't floppy)
  
  
• SHOULDER-HAND SYNDROME: Pain in shoulder and swelling in hand, sometimes occurring after Myocardial Infarction.(I wonder if it has to be simultaneous, or if you can just say, oh my hand! at 4:00 and Ah my shoulder! at 6 if it'll count)
  
  
• DANDY-WALKER SYNDROME: Obstruction of Foramina of Magendie and Luschka in infants ------> Hydrocephalus. (Whoa, whoever got the job of naming this one needs to take one of those pills)
  
  
• PICKWICKIAN SYNDROME: Symptom cluster: Obesity, Hypoventilation, Somnolence, Erythrocytosis. (Uf! It's like an Antique shop sale! PickWick Day: 4 for the price of 1!)
  

Now my personal favorite, and my current ailment, is LNS disorder. I've had this for awhile now and have accepted that I do, which is 64% of the battle right? (or is it 40%?)

The common term is known as Late Night Snacking disorder. Now this is a highly contagious disorder that can pass as quickly as a glance to the person sitting next to you's plate full of goodies. No kidding, this is serious stuff, and I've got it.

But, no worries. There is a cure, and it's highly effective. This marvelous LNS curing product is shown below...
