I was surprised to read alana's letter pina colada, ed38, p4 ; in which she reported using panadol. i wonder whether her relief from fatigue was as much because she stopped taking panadol which in my eyes is poison for everybody. my own experience of symptoms became a long and wearying process of elimination, as one after another i identified substances in my food that my bowels or liver didn't like, or were associated with eczema or seemed to cause fatigue. i came to these conclusions by keeping a diary of everything i ate and all my symptoms. it seemed to me that symptoms were not immediate following eating something questionable, but could appear anytime up to a week later. i had to get to a baseline of no symptoms, then test foods one at a time, over at least a week and preferably two. over a couple of years, heaps of stuff ended up getting ditched but i can now remain completely symptom free if i avoid specific things. now my bowel habits are back the way i like it. going once a day in the morning and barely even noticing. no more agonising; will i have to go again in twenty minutes, will i go at all, i going to have awful flatulence for the rest of the day, when will my stomach be flat again, is it possible to actually wear out your sphincter? i never thought ordinary bowel activity would make my heart sing, but it sure does. i'd like to add a note on alcohol consumption here for the benefit of those who still have a drink now and then. about ten years ago, i started to notice upper right abdominal pain in the days after i drank alcohol. i began putting soda water in my wine but after a year or two the pain became quite sharp and after drinking i would look so aged. then i noticed small cysts on my face a week or so after that occasional drink. that was the end of it for me. last year when i had a single drink on three separate occasions after three years complete abstinence ; the cysts appeared again. in my experience, there's a level of symptoms that one is prepared to live with, and indulgence in particular foods comes at a price. the main thing is to have a real clear idea of what that price is going to be before the bargaining starts and the best way to accomplish that is to go one's own personal exploration of the food and symptom diary, to find out what gives you the craps or the aches, or the fatigue, or the haggardness ; . my theory is that attempting to process particular substances makes me unwell. i just don't need it, and i've decided i don't need the substances that seem to me to cause it. total absence of pain and physical discomfort is a wonderful thing. good luck to anyone who thinks this is worth giving a go. Bullfighting makes about as much sense to australians as cricket must to spaniards. it is noisy, uncomfortable, expensive, politically incorrect and, in the context of a sporting contest, utterly predictable. if there are six fights on the program, then the score at day's end is going to read: matadors 6 bulls 0. spain hasn't lost a fighter in the ring for a couple of decades. so why would a visitor fork out a fistful of pesetas to sit on a hard seat in the dusty sun and watch the ritual slaughter of a proud and defenceless beast? well, when in rome do as the romans do, if you want to learn something of them. even so, it is with a sense of guilt and bewilderment that the uninitiated enter spain's equivalent of the coliseum. cheaper seats can be had in the sun. in such a hot country "sol" will always cost less than "sombra" shade and set card game.
