Ron,
I try to feature strong female characters in my work, not based on any one person I've known but the many women I've known who would kick butt and take names.
My spouse is very much a heroine. Every day she kept going back to her sworn duty [until she was medically retired] in her words was like walking into enemy fire. I don't deserve her.
I showed my spouse the article with Captain Judikha of the Galactic Patrol. First she said: "Cool." Second she said: "She's beautiful."
Please tell your heroine that my heroine says, "Thank you!" Guys, seriously, that's beautiful. We need to place that up somewhere permanently.
"Tell your heroine that my heroine says, 'Thank you!'"

This thread used to be called Husley's Tips. It got even better.

It's actually not insane but fairly normal.
Doing the research doesn't hurt, worrying about it before you actually get a diagnosis does. Well, it was 13 days of waiting to know--13 days of madness and on my knees crying for mercy. I'm not as strong as I thought. A total crumbling weak woman. Your sex has nothing to do with it. I am exactly like you. Which is why I absolutely have to resist self-diagnosing. For instance, umpty years ago I convinced myself that I had cancer because I Googled some symptoms. Turned out it was a simple infection that was taken care of in a few days. Even with that lesson learned, I have to physically withhold myself from second-guessing and wait to see what the real results of tests will be any time I think there may be something wrong. Judith thinks I am nuts and she is no doubt right.

Better to have some concern, do your research, see the leech, and get a diagnosis than to ignore things entirely.
My father wanted to be a doctor but there were no funds due to the Great Depression, so instead after the war he became a life insurance underwriter. I heard about so dang many medical conditions as a child when I go see a leech they usually confirm what I suspect, which kind of sucks.

You are right...but better to find out from a doctor than trying to self-diagnose on the internet!
