My Body is a World Class Lab

I'm conducting ground breaking research on a rare skin disease - (PRP). And I have a great lab - My Body.  It is immediately accessible -24/7...  it reports test results instantly-(no bureaucratic system or Doc filtering delays). . and I have total control in administering, viewing and interpreting results.  Currently, I'm performing tests with Coconut Oil, Vaseline, Acidophilus, Triamcinolone steroid cream, and Prednisone.  The left side of my body excluding head, hands and feet is covered in Coconut Oil and the right side in Triamcinolone Steroid Creme.  Head (hair and face) have Coconut Oil. Hands  have Vaseline.  Feet currently have coconut oil covered with Vaseline.

My negative test result is positive?  I get an email from John Hopkins that I have new test results.  Log in to the Hopkin's great system where I can see my test results, send and receive messages, see appointments etc. In encounters in previous years with hospitals including Hopkins I have always had to yell at them to get my results in a timely way .. the usual bureaucratic confusion and wanting to have the doc look at them first. This time I got my blood test results the very next day (except for PSA)  so this is a major improvement in the health system.  I log in and see that this new test result

Woke up several times in night with terrific itching. Finally got up and reapplied ointment. Angst about Blog. Decided for time being to restrict to family and close friends and exclude docs.

And time spent being concerned with viewers reactions can inhibit
