We cannot do much to help ourselves but I wonder if what I am about to suggest has already been done here?
While we are all in the same boat, why not compare our pasts, searching for possible unexpected connections, similarities? For example, have more of us than the "normal" community had exceptional trauma of one kind or other in our lives? Have we been more sporty than most? (I read that an unexpectedly high number of professional footballers have ALS), etc etc.
I am ready to create a form and put it out here on the net for people to fill in to search for correlations if you think it might be any use at all. I just feel, Who knows? I read about the 'nice gene' - well, that could be the sort of thing, but that is a bit subjective and vague. I should like to hear your opinions and suggestions for items that might be included - maybe, have we sufferred from clinical depression or if we have sufferred from pollution from pesticide or herbicide use.
