I wish I could. None of us know what it really is that hits our bodies and, in the beginning, scare the willies out of us. We've had long discussions on it, but we just don't know. I thought it was some kind of electromagnetic energy coming into my body and my brain having to make sense of it, re-creates the pattern somewhere on our bodies. But there's holes in this. How can it be so long in advance of a quake? Why are so many of the symptoms ones I've never experienced before?

While I don't know in searching in objective ways to come up with an answer, I have come to think it is just God poking at me again that He intends to have another EQ or volcano. It's easier to think this and just go with it in trust of Him who loves us all.

How long has this been happening to you? Looking back over your life, does it make any kind of sense...your being given a gift of responsibility now?

No one that I know of has died of any of this yet, so don't worry about it from that standpoint. But getting a physical exam could ease your mind. You would know it is not you, but something outside of you doing it to you.
