Well... I've always scored off the charts.
The Recent Life Changes Questionnaire was developed to guage the amount of stress one is experiencing. Since I've been just a tad bit on edge (ah... sarcasm: the highest form of satire...), I decided to see where I scored.According to the scale, a 6-month score of 300 would indicate a high level of stress in my life, and an 80 percent increase in me contracting a serious illness. I scored a cool 654. Of course to be fair, about 80 percent of my score is the result of the past 45 days. So if you adjust the scale, I actually managed to score over a thousand! I wonder if there is a special secret society for people like me...
Update: I found a fabolous tidbit of news regarding my adjusted score of +1000
Research has shown that accumulating more than 150 LCUs on the SRRS within 6 months correlates with a high probability that a person will experience a negative health change. The nature of the health change cannot be predicted, only that one is likely to occur. Negative health changes include heart attacks, accidents, infectious diseases, worsening of a previous illness, injuries, and metabolic disease.
Let me be the first to thank the unfortunately named site "cancer source" for sharing that bit of info. Seriously, name your site "cancer info", or "cancer help"; perhaps even "cancer truth", but don't name it "cancer source"! Who could possibly let the fact that the site's name literally means "source of cancer" slide by?!
God, I need vacation...
