Autoimmune disease and fatigue -

Just before Christmas my S-10 was t-boned by a Ford Explorer. The impact bent the frame and pushed the cab two feet from the bed.

I was very lucky - knocked out briefly and left with some muscle spasms, sprains and bruises; all of which are healing up nicely.(God bless the engineers at Ford and GM!)

Here's the odd thing - my mouth is even drier than normal, showing that my Sjogren's is still at the party, but I feel somewhat zippier. Maybe it's a side effect of the massive adrenaline burst and/or my body actually having something to heal. I wouldn't recommend trying this solution, but thought it worth mentioning.
