Ridiculously optimistic, bright-side post # 4

I'm introducing a new theme to the blog today.  For better or worse, I tend to be a relentlessly optimistic person; the type who seeks to find the "bright side" of even the most frustrating situations.  I occasionally have these positive thoughts with respect to ME/CFS.  (Yes, there is a bright side there sometimes.  You have to look very hard, but it's there.)  So, I decided to start blogging these points periodically, under the tag "Ridiculously optimistic, bright-side post #__", or ROBP for short.

I figure, there are already plenty of blogs that seek better awareness of ME/CFS by highlighting the seriousness of our illness.  Those bloggers fight an important fight, for which I respect them immensely.  But I feel that, in staying true to myself, and true to the very title of my blog "Quixotic," I need to focus on the bright side of things.  As the negatives aspects pile up, I think it's important to remember that there are some positives to help balance things out slightly.  In that spirit, I am retroactively designating three old posts as ROBP numbers 1, 2, and 3.

And here, my friends, is number 4:

I'm not sure how to put this... Um... Hopefully we can all be adults about this so I'll just come right out and say it.  I'm 1000% less flatulent than I used to be.  Undoubtedly, this is due to my change to a low carb diet.  But, I mean, wow!  I hardly ever have the urge to pass gas any longer.  I didn't even know that was possible!  My wife thanks you for that, ME/CFS.  I thank you for that.  That's got to be a sign of better GI health, doesn't it?
