Year of the Dragon difficulties

Last year, 2012 was the year of the dragon, my "birth" year, as I was also born in the year of the dragon (1964).  According to chinese zodiac lore, I would have a tough year.  I didn't realize it at the time, but looking back, I suppose my brush with ED would constitute my difficulty for the year.  If that is the worse it can get, I'm glad that's all it is.
