In a weird mood

[Sailorsong]

I just got home from eating out ( Mexican ) and find myself in a weird mood. I get in this mood from time to time where I start to question everyday things and some not so ordinary things as well. But mostly ordinary things,

1) Since PwMS are sensitive to heat can hot spicy food set off a pseudo relapse? If so maybe that is why I don't have remissions! I love spicy food and eat quite a lot of it. I will put a tablespoon of the Hot Chinese Mustard on a single egg roll.

2) How do the drug companies come up with those generic drug names that no one can pronounce?  Is it the first letter of the names of everyone that worked on the drug? :)

3) Why is it that items that are black are harder to find in your house? Everything else in the house can be light colored but still black things seem harder to find.

4) How did med-help come up with toes as a suggested tag when nothing in the post mentioned toes ( until now that is)?

Thanks for being the philospher tonight and asking those tough questions.  I know I have read before that drinking hot beverages can affect us  temporarily - it raises our core body temperature.  I can't see why spicy food wouldn't do the same thing and heat your body - I've sat across from my DH at Mexican restaurants with super hot sauces (which he loves) and seen him sweat- literally!- from eating hot foods.

Hahahaha! :-D)

Ah, Dennis, sorry you're going through this!  If it's any consolation, Mexican food, and sometimes Italian food (I'm sure it's the combination of oregano and tomatoes) gives me very vivid weird dreams.  Cumin makes no difference.  I, too, love spicy foods - gotta love that "bang" on the top of my noggin with the generous wasabi I put on sushi!  I'm not sure it could cause a pseudo-exacerbation, tho...

As far as moods go, its good you recognise when you're in one.  Just don't make any life decisions while you're in that space.  Lie down til the mood passes.  Just my $0.02.
