Jana,

As I do more reading about metabolic disorders, I realize that the doctor I saw yesterday was thinking about them. He asked me, for example, if I ever pee funny colors (well, doctor, there was that time my husband grew too many beets in the garden and no one else would eat them...). I think that if all the mg tests I'm going to have still come back negative, that will be the next thing to look into. So, he's on it.

Meanwhile, I have seven siblings, so that's a comfort--if there was some recessive gene at work here, you'd think one or two of them would be sick, and they're not. On the other hand, I'm the second oldest, so who knows.

I will try to remember to live in the moment a little more today...
