Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead Page #2
are the toughest.
Not eating, it's kind of like
you're cutting yourself
off from society.
When you're not eating food,
it just doesn't seem normal.
I couldn't even watch TV
because of all the commercials.
You don't want to be
around people,
and you don't want to be
around food.
I was happiest in bed.
I didn't wanna get out of bed.
I just wanted to lie there
and feel sorry for myself.
Day Three was today.
I had a pretty bad night
last night.
I felt very, very,
very much alone,
last night in the sense that...
it's like you've got this mammoth
task ahead of you and
without food,
you're really starting to hurt,
and you're feeling it.
You wanna go to sleep
and wake up in two months
and it's all done.
As the saying goes,
"You do the crime,
you do the time,"
and there's no question,
I've done the crime.
I mean, you know,
I really have...
I really have...
not been kind to my body.
You know it's...
it's a tough thing,
the emotional attachment to food,
its bloody tough.
These are the pills
I have to take.
This is a 5 mg tablet
of prednisone.
That's 15 mgs there.
Before I started on the fast,
that's how many
I was having a day.
Looking at these...
at these...
bottles here,
it doesn't look good.
If you're a fit, healthy,
young person, you shouldn't be
traveling around with
prescription drugs
and doing that, I mean it's...
You wouldn't have thought,
that it'd be me,
that I would...
have to do this.
I was in California in 1999
and I played golf and I thought
maybe I touched some poison ivy,
and that night I went to bed.
I went to wake up the next morning
and it was up
my forearms and Shins
and very itchy and scratching.
It's like hives.
It's chronic hives.
It spread all over my body,
torso, and geez,
I was lit up
like a Christmas tree.
This is how
my autoimmune disease works:
When you get bit by a mosquito,
receptors under your skin
send a signal to your brain.
HQ, we got an invader
in Sector 3.
Scramble the histamines.
Roger that.
Histamines are being deployed.
Histamine makes the blood vessels
around the bite swell,
making it more difficult
for the poisons
in the mosquitoes' saliva
As a side effect,
the whole area is
swollen, red and itchy,
but with my disease,
the receptors
send the wrong messages.
A handshake is like getting bit by a thousand mosquitoes.
Mayday! Mayday!
All hell's
breakin' loose down here!
All histamines,
report to battle stations!
And this can happen at anytime
to any part of my body.
Just the smell,
just the smell is sensational.
Normally I'd eat two of those,
not two slices,
