Question:

I Was Indirectly Struck By Lightning In 1998 And I Have Had No Effects That I Know Of. Is This Normal.?

In 1998, I was working at Publix In Fort Pierce, FL. as a front service personnel. I had just finished bringing some groceries to a customers car, and was walking in with the cart in one hand and my umbrella in the other because it was raining. I was at the bottom of the wheelchair ramp going into the building when lightning hit the lightning rod on the building, branched off, and hit me throwing me a good 15 to 20 feet away and knocking me out. When I awoke I was soaking wet. I walked into the store and my manager asked me if I was alright because I was white as a ghost. I had no marks on my body, but ever since I have had problems with intense shaking when I get nervous and my metabolism has never been the same. I also was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder while in boot camp shortly thereafter. Is this the body's normal response to that kind of event and is there anything that I can do to reverse it? If anybody has exrerienced anything similar; I'd appreciate your help.

I can't drink water from a plastic/acrylic cup at all. Only glass. But the thing for me that no one has said yet is The way it feels to my mouth. For some reason as soon as plastic hits my lips I just don't want it, even if the cup is new. Idk why but I'm dieing for a good answer from someone.
You can see ABS at any Home Depot, Lowe's or most hardware stores. It's actually an inner wall + an outer wall with a foam core - tougher than it sounds. But I personally prefer cast-iron, which is much quieter than plastic drain pipe. The problem with ABS breaking at the fittings was with a particular brand (Centaur) and it was many years ago. It resulted in a lawsuit against Shell Oil, who provided the chemicals for that batch of pipe. That was a real nightmare.
