This is the hardest post I've ever written.
I have to admit... when I saw your original post I laughed and scoffed and berated you about how ridiculous it sounded.
I also asked my wife to bring home some blue cheese.
The first time I tried it and it worked...I wrote it off to my own hysteria.
Last night when the beast woke me up and invited me to dance at 5 A.M. I walked past my faithful O2 bottle and Midrin capsules and got out the blue cheese and vinegar. I checked my watch.
I love cheese but that s#@$ is strong! And with a glob of that under my tongue, I rubbed stinky old vinegar on my arms, chest, and as much of my back as I could reach. I saw your addition of "an egg" but wasn't about to go there! My pain escalates immediatly... so cooking was definitly out!
I felt like an idiot and smelled like a salad. Wondering, as the painful seconds past, if I was allowed to swallow the goop as it ozzed around my tongue. I kept as much under my tongue for as long as possible.
All the while thinking "this is stupid"!
The pain stopped at 5 minutes.
Explanation? I could care less. I got my next "invite" at work at 11:30 and stopped it with O2 on my way home.
Something in me still doesn't want to believe it.
I will continue to try it.
Do you think the egg is really necessary?
This is very strange. Thanks anyway.
Stink in the sunshine
