good point OCgirl- my doc told me to watch my posture, and NOT to hold my shoulders so far back. I had/have this nasty habit of holding my shoulders too far back because they are slumped forward. Doc said that doing that (trying to make my shoulderblades touch, esentially) actually can contribute to any nerve/arterial compression thats going on....

I usually mix that stuff in a glass
