#symptoms

Trying to suppress or eradicate symptoms on the physical level can be extremely important, but there's more to healing than that; dealing with psychological, emotional and spiritual issues involved in treating sickness is equally important. ↗

I was the first in my peer group to get pregnant. All I craved was reassurance. I needed someone to tell me that all the seemingly random symptoms I had - weird things, such as excess saliva - were normal. And I was worried because I wasn't getting any morning sickness. ↗

Need a ride home?" "Yes." But she keeps sitting there. "Let's go." "You're taking me?" "It's a pretty standard way of offering," I say. "I wasn't asking for informational purposes. Fascinating as the answer was. ↗
