[Vwoolf] Woolf bio.

[Stuart N. Clarke]

In English English, the sentence, "I'm up to here with Woolf's biography", 
"might mean, and you may have meant it to mean" that you can't stand it any 
more!

I'm up to here with Woolf's biography. Years ago a physician asked, in the 
VW Quarterly, what about porphyria. Indeed, I believe she inherited acute 
intermittent porphyria and all the associated symptoms. Best therapy is a 
high carbohydrate diet. Surest way to bring on an attack is to get pregnant. 
Psychiatric manifestations are familiar-- hallucinations. Coma has a way of 
ending things. Seems to be coordinated with menstrual periods. Barbiturates 
and wine are contraindicated. Onset after puberty. Depression is frequent.
