In response to:
"Why are people always sick and tired, but you never hear people who are tired and sick."
Dear Dr. Freemo: Example: "I get sick and tired of the trolls on social media who bully other people. I believe if you get tired of the trolls bullying other people that could make you sick." Actually normally for me I get tired first and then I get sick.
