Why, because you don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about, and you need me to look it up for you?

Aside from being extremely familiar with how VVS works I'll just leave this little study [researchgate.net] for you. You only need to read the abstract to see that there's no relation.
Google it

Ummm, yeah. Whatever you say. I did google it and that study came up. Along with not a lot of links even talking about it and others talking about anecdotal information.

You really are all sorts of special, aren't you?

Ohhhhh, wikipedia says it's true! It must be!
Under causes, it says "Severe menstrual cramps" with no links to site that. Meanwhile, I give you a link to a study by the University of Calgary.

You must be right!

Yes, actually. Ask him to prove it. Also ask him why you haven't had a syncopal episode ever when you're having a supposed VVS trigger. Come back with that answer, I'm really curious.

You're one of those sad, sad people who thinks you're getting a rise out of people who call you stupid aren't you?
So just as a PSA: when people point out that you're stupid, or dumb, or have a low IQ, it's just someone calmly pointing out the obvious. It's like telling a dog that he smells bad - you know it won't fully understand, and you don't get mad at it, it's just a statement of fact to a lesser mammal.

No, you're dr is an idiot, remember? And it's kind of obvious that the only one trying to make themselves feel better is you. Try a few more smileys. Maybe you'll feel smarter.

Serious question: do you have to do this kind of thing every day? Like, someone just points out your obvious shortcomings and you have to laugh it off/ pretend you don't care? Is that a depressing way to live, or is it just habit now?
