Debbie,
Good question! Even if it's not the answer, you're still trying to find a connection. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out this DD too. I guess it at least keeps us out of trouble... or not! lol
I was 6lbs, 10oz at birth, so not a low birth weight. My DM was a 9lb baby and I believe she has FM, and has had it for a long time. I was breast fed for 3 months, then my mother had to go back to work - so on to the bottle. Both of my parents were heavy smokers. My mother stopped 40 yrs ago, my father continued until he was operated on for lung cancer. He died several months later.
I spent most of my early yrs being 'sickly', always had an ear ache, got whatever flu was in town, got strep when I was about 11 or so. I had penicillin once, it got rid of the strep. Never had another antibiotic until I was an adult. I am allergic to most antibiotics, (found out the hard way). I have always had a hard time w/ sleeping issues. As a child/young adult I couldn't go to sleep until maybe 4am. When I turned about 30, I could go off, but a couple of hrs later I WAS UP for the rest of the day. That is how my life is still.
If you have any more ideas throw them out here, you never know when one idea may be THE idea.
God bless. Alice.
