Please don't tell me you have a rash, because little red bumps will mysteriously appear on my skin too.
Does your head itch? Don't let me know, because mine will soon itch too.
Are your ankles feeling stiff?
Do you have purple spots on your belly?
Does your throat hurt, or your eye burn?
I have this strange way of feeling your discomfort, but I'd really rather not.
Most recently... Peter's tooth has been hurting him. So much so that I took him out of school yesterday to take him to the dentist. He had a very apparent cavity that the dentist filled right then. And you know, as soon as his cavity was diagnosed, my lower right tooth toward the back began to hurt. It hurt all day. Could I possibly have a cavity too? It sure is sensitive.
A few years back a friend of mine was telling me about meningitis and how once you get purple spots on your belly, your end is very near. Next day, purple spots on my belly. Kind of like this...
AND, this one time, my hand began to hurt for no reason at all. Then my thoughts led to my younger brother and I had this sense that maybe he had hurt his hand. I emailed him to ask if he had hurt his hand and HE HAD. I had felt his pain before I even knew of it. Wee-ird.
Dave, are you there? True story, yah? Check the comments, ya'll, for story verification. I'm not as coo coo as Paul would like to think I am.
Paul likes to label me psychosomatic. I prefer sympathetic.
Hope you're healthy and well. I'm going to go take some Tylenol for this sore tooth.

sounds like you have some sort of gift!
I totally remember cutting my finger with a razor blade in college - I still have a numb spot on my thumb from that accident. I may or may not exactly totally recollect remembering that you kinda sorta maybe shared my pain. Hopefully that clears it up.
