Re: Re: Re: Re: For Those Using Quinine - Becker's or Thomsen's MC?

Hi John, You just reminded me of all the times when I was little. My mom would never let me stand or warm up before our stop, She'd always be in a hurry. {She thought I was procrastinating}anyway , She would either pull , push, or drag me off the bus. She would drag me in front of the waiting bus at the intersection, we'd always have the green light and I would freeze and fall over like a log every single time. Of course , I wasn't diagnosed until around 30 yrs later. A Dr at the time said I was afraid of buses. Oh well......

I had similar problems getting on and off the bus at a young age too, I used to tell people that Frankenstine was a relative of mine in elementary school when people would ask what was wrong LOL

Re: For Those Using Quinine - Becker's or Thomsen's MC?

getting on the bus after school, with all those strangers potentially looking at me, was the bane of my childhood. i acted like an absolute fool in order not to freeze up while climbing those dreaded huge steps - when i saw the bus coming, i'd start dancing around like a total idiot. and getting off the bus wasn't that much better, except that i was very strong, and could hang by my arms if need be! fortunately, there are plenty of 'unusual' people in New York City, so i probably wasn't as much the center of attention as i feared. lois

LOL I am sure everyone on here has experienced thia as we have. We need to laugh about our creativity. and I am glad to hear other stories of the same. No point in allowing it to give you nightmares or that deep down feeling of stress, stress will kill us worse than medication and Cancer combined
