Junebug, how interesting! Like Joann, I did a search and read some encouraging stuff. What is the potency of your time-release B vitamins? Thanks, Susan

It is amazing how much flexibility we lose as we get older. I am shocked over here! lol Yoga is something I'd really like to try. As far as the aches and pains, diet can also help there. J. J. Virgin is a new one appearing on the PBS circuit. It's the same type of program others are promoting about dropping certain foods and increasing vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds. Let's see if I can remember them from her program to eliminate food sensitivities and inflammation. Dairy Gluten Eggs Soy Corn Sugar & artificial sweeteners Peanuts (had to look that one up!) Dr. Fuhrman promotes GOMBS Greens Onions Mushrooms Beans & Berries Seeds & Nuts for energy and disease prevention and even reversal. These doctors (others too) are really hitting the circuit that we don't have to get sick or feel tired and achy. We are what we eat! One thing JJV said that stuck with me was "our bodies are not bank accounts, they are labs". That's basically the premise of Dr. Furhman's educationals, too.

"Whoa" indeed! Just the kind of thing you need on top of the darn TICK bite. I'm so sorry. How long will it take to see if PT helps? (Wish I could feel more optimistic about that. Sorry.) Did you ever have surgery for your scoliosis? (Friend from college had it while in HS.) What kind of surgery would they do now?

I'm sorry about your friend and sorry for you too. There is no way to know how these things work, but based on my own experiences, it seems that we are given signs or premonitions if our minds are open to them. Whether or not they are truly that or if our minds make the leap to interpret them that way is something we don't really know and probably never will unless science figures out a way to decipher them.
