Doc.....Please prescribe me a remedy

     What has been humanity's worst illness? Flu? Cholera? Plague? Chicken Pots?....It could be. But which is the only illness that everybody (and I mean everybody) in this planet has gone through? It's a diseace that sometimes leaves scars. Sometimes it is curable. Sometimes not. Sometimes it renders you helpless when others it makes you restless. It can last from one day to one lifetime. Most of the times it gives you a cheerful mood while others it remains an open wound that bleeds for years. I am talking about Love. I would be grateful if everybody agreed that love is a diseace indeed. Of course it is a blessing, but once love has settled in our hearts.. it alters everything that touches, in ways unimaginable before. So, if love is a deseace then it surely has a remedy. Millions of them. Everybody has a prescription. Time, distance, another love, hobbies... Just ask people around you and you will take so many different answers.What is not always easily desiphered though is what symptoms love gives out. How do we know we are love-struck.


Here are some of the most common symptoms of love:


1) Euphoria...A general euphoria overwhelms you. Your body. Your mind. Your every function. You smile to everyone and everything. You walk down the road like "John Travolta" in  "Saturday Night Fever". That old song talking about love that you hated now uplifts you and makes you want to dance.The sun is always shining even when outside your window it's raining. This symptom is passive. But it's results dramatically change your way of thinking.


2) Shining...You seem to shine like a diamond. Your face and your body reflect a blinding light. Like you've been touched by a magic wand. All this shining also affects the things you touch.


3) Insomnia...Yes,when in love, it's so hard to sleep at night. It's hard to sleep in the morning. It's generally hard to sleep. This symtom has a drastic affect on the whole body. In the beginning it is only alerting. But no matter how deep are the consequences in the end your body will give up. You have to sleep sometime, even if it is not for many hours. The effect of insomnia is greatly affected by the severity of the "Euphoria" symtptom.


4) Blindness... You tend to overlook things. You can't find your keys even when they are under your nose. You seem to miss the keyhole on the door or the car. You generally get short sighted, get blurry vision and in the end get totally blinded.. Note.Your loved one stays immune to your blindness.


5) Disfunctions.... You seem to be doing everything the wrong way. You wear you shoes in the wrong foot. You drive your car in the wrong lane. You even seem to push the wrong floor number in the elevator. This symptom comes along with the "Cloud Walking" symptom.


6) Loss of appetite... Your best friend at night has now become a sworn enemy. Or even worse, you seem to be apathetic towards the refrigerator and generally the kitchen area. You lose your appetite. You don't want to eat anything at all. No solid food may pass through your mouth. You discover that you can stay for days without eating without even missing it. Even chewing gum becomes a heavy burden... This symptom has an imminent effect on body weight. And it spreads rapidly. Unfortunately it soon creates the unpleasant feeling of having no power to move. 


7) Discovery... You discover new things. You have found an 8th color in the rainbow. A new note in the pentagram (the "L" note and chord). You are finally able to see that beyond your window lives a green mountain that you've been missing for years. You walk down the road and discover that those walking things among you are actually other human beings and not magically enhanced walking mannequins. This symptom is contradicting symptom #4. 


8) Cloud walking & Dreaming... Your normally rational behavior has been substituted by crazy dreams and anticipations. Your aspirations become somehow multiplied. You think of the future more often than before. You never seize to think in fact. Your mind works at full capacity, and in general making deeply cheerful thoughts. If you could reach the clouds you would surely be able to walk on them.


9) Time disorientation.... You seem to have lost the sense of time. Seconds become minutes. Minutes become hours. Hours become days. Day and night collide and become one. You feel like you don't have enough time to do what you want and on the other hand you get amazed how many hours have passed and you've been gazing at the stars thinking of him/her...
