Don’t know if any of you watched the latest episode of HOUSE the other night.

There was a young girl who had some kind of rare disorder called CIDP (or some such acronym). She was unable to feel any pain.

Anyway, she and her mom were in an accident and for some reason, all during the episode the doctors were saying “She has Peripheral Neuropathy”, (many times, they referred to this). Then someone said “well, check her B-12 levels” and the other guy answered. “We did and she was fine”, Then House said “well, check them again”.

So the whole episode this young girl is having paranoid delusions, etc. and Peripheral Neuropathy. And her B-12 levels were always normal.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE ENDING OF THIS EPISODE!!!!

Dr. House is eating a sandwich and a lightbulb goes off in his head and he and his team rush the girl into surgery. He opens up her stomach and proceeds to remove a 25 foot tapeworm. It looked like a long long long snake. The whole surgical staff just stared going “Oh my god”. I was going “Oh my god”. Seems the tapeworm was feeding off of her and digesting the B-12 which caused her neuropathy.

Well, last night I had dream that there were snakes in my head and I was pulling out long wormy things and then when I looked in the mirror I saw little maggots. I had just watched an episode of NCIS and the episode opened with maggots on some dead guy.

So put the two shows together and you have Melody going to sleep pulling snakes out of her head and having little maggot things stuck in my hair.

I jumped out of bed this morning telling Alan I had snakes in my hair and he said “What???” then I remembered the episode of House and NCIS and I said “I am writing to these shows, they gave me such a nightmare”.

Did any of you see House.? After I told Alan about the tapeworm feeding off the girl’s B-12, of course Alan turns to me and says “Do you think I have a tapeworm?”

I got hysterical!!!!!!
