>
> 9.) Your medicine cabinet looks like a miniature Walgreen's Drug Store.
>
> 8.) There is a barf-bag next to the K-Y in the night-table.
>
> 7.) You think prunes and Wheat Germ go with whatever else is on the
> dinner menu.
>
> 6.) You know where all the bathrooms are within a ten mile radius of
> your house.
>
> 5.) You've decorated your home around the colors in your heating pads
> -- which double as throw-pillows, when not in use.
>
> 4.) You don't think it's odd to have a TV, magazine rack and telephone
> in the bathroom. (Doesn't everybody?)
>
> 3.) You are on a first-name basis with the staff of the ER room and
> your local doctor's office.
>
> 2.) Pin-up of the doctor who "cured" you on the bedroom wall.

> 1.) The #1 way to tell you have ARD and IBS... the wonderful loving
