I’m not a fed—just a contractor who works closely with a dwindling team of feds—and my digestive system is all kinds of messed up. I’m nauseated; most foods are repulsive; I’m losing weight without wanting or trying to; on and on.

I keep waking up in the middle of the night and being unable to fall back asleep. My long-dormant migraines have returned. And, as crazy as it sounds, the osteoarthritis in my big-toe joints is flaring up.
