TIL I have this. I've had it for my whole life, and no doctor could ever tell me what it was. The Wikipedia article is my life exactly. I can't tell you how many times I've described the cycle concept to people. Good months, bad months...good years, bad years. I remember my worst years, 6th grade, 9th grade, and 11th grade. Throwing up at least 5 times a day for months on end. My parents took me to so many doctors trying to find out what it was. I was tested for allergies, ulcers, even for a brain tumor. The one doctor that ever gave me any sort of explanation was a gastroenterologist that told me that I could have inherited my mother's migraines as "stomach migraines". It was the only thing that made any sort of medical sense to me. Apparently he was right.

tl;dr TIL I have this.

Do you have photos from before and now?

Totally understandable. Didn't mean to come across as probing if I did, just interested in how the testosterone affects overall appearance aside from hair growth. Can you describe the changes? I'm guessing it doesn't actually change your bone structure, or maybe it does? Did you get taller, change shoe sizes, etc.? I imagine losing babyfat around your face, and the like. I'm trying to remember all the changes I went through at puberty and if you went through the same things or if you "missed the boat" so to say on certain things (like growth spurt, foot growing...) because of your age?

I watched your documentary on "The Artist Is Present", and I have to say I gained a whole new appreciation for performance art. It was crazy to me that just sitting there staring at another person could evoke so much emotion for the person sitting across from you. What did you feel from your perspective? Could you feel their emotions projected onto you?

What is the best knife that Wusthof makes, and which is your favorite to use? Why should I buy Wusthof over Shun? (I love my Wusthof by the way, just want to hear a direct comparison).
