Ok, so I have a weird and morbid sense of humor but...it's true!!!!!! Let me explain....



About 7 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare inherited blood disease called Hereditary Angioedema.



" Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a very rare and potentially life-threatening genetic condition that occurs in about 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50,000 people. In addition, patients often have bouts of excruciating abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting that is caused by swelling in the intestinal wall. HAE symptoms include episodes of edema (swelling) in various body parts including the hands, feet, face and airway. Airway swelling is particularly dangerous and can lead to death by asphyxiation." [http://www.haea.org/what-is-hae/]





Basically, I'm lacking a certain protein in my blood.



"HAE patients have a defect in the gene that controls a blood protein called C1 Inhibitor. The genetic defect results in production of either inadequate or non-functioning C1-Inhibitor protein. Normal C1-Inhibitor helps to regulate the complex biochemical interactions of blood-based systems involved in disease fighting, inflammatory response and coagulation. Because defective C1-Inhibitor does not adequately perform its regulatory function, a biochemical imbalance can occur and produce unwanted peptides that induce the capillaries to release fluids into surrounding tissue, thereby causing edema." [http://www.haea.org/what-is-hae/]



Thus, because I lack this protein...the "green and red light" controls for my immune system do not function properly. In essence, my immune system will sporadically attack myself thinking there is a foreign invasion when there is not.



Now do you get the joke? I'm lacking that protein...hence diet food? LOL! Awwww come on! It's funny! :P don't worry, I'm on meds which control it and I function normally...or as normal as can be expected coming from me ;) And it's NOT contagious people lol...hence the hereditary part...you'd be surprised how many people ask me that while cringing avoiding my touch :P

Sounds sad but to learn just how to keep it in check so to speak with medicines. You must got lot of information about this so you can fight it. How old was you when you first had this rare disease? If, you don't mine my asking!

Ok, so I don't game as much as I used to but I have been known to throw down in some FPS games on the Xbox 360. So I tend to get weird innovative ideas and one of them is to one day make a kick ass video of my game footage lol. I'm not sure what game...could be Gears of War, Borderlands, Halo, or COD MW...any of those series...or even some Army of Two. Anyway...so I've had the perfect song in mind for a very long time. :D yes, I'm a dork :P



"You Might Think" - The Cars



Oh well uh you might think I'm crazy

To hang around with you

Or maybe you think I'm lucky

To have somethin' to do

But I think that you're wild

Inside me is some child



You might think I'm foolish

Or maybe it's untrue

(you might think I'm crazy)

You might think I'm crazy

(all I want is you)

But all I want is you



You might think it's hysterical

But I know when you're weak

You think you're in the movies

And everything's so deep

But I think that you're wild

When you flash that fragile smile



You might think it's foolish

What ya put me through

(you might think I'm crazy)

You might think I'm crazy

(all I want is you)

All I want is you



And it was hard so hard to take

There's no escape without a scrape

But you kept it going till the sun fell down

You kept it going



Oh well uh you might think I'm delirious

The way I run you down

But somewhere sometimes

When you're curious

I'll be back around

Oh I think that you're wild

And so-o uniquely styled



You might think it's foolish

This chancy rendezvous

(you might think I'm crazy )

You might think I'm crazy

(all I want is you)

All I want is you-a-oo

All I want is you

(all I want is you)

All I want is you
