Hi friends,

I started January 1st off with a 10 - the TOS migraine. 2 days later I sneezed and threw my back out! It got a bit better over 3 days, then the back got much worse - the sciatic nerve waking me up after 1 hr of sleep. Severe 10 pain that's like a charleyhorse, my leg and hip in bad spasm. This has gone on for nearly 3 weeks now and just last night I was able to lie on my back till 5:30am, so I guess it's on the mend. Had an x-ray done yesterday with a chiro. who wants to learn about TOS! I warned him "no manipulations", and he agrees. Plus, he's doing the evaluation on my back injury for free! Just for the exposure to TOS info. Cool huh?

But then yesterday I caught a cold that my Mom has had for a week.

My Psych Therapist retired Jan. 1, so no group or counseling until she decides to return part-time in Feb. so I'm working hard on keeping my spirits up.

The weather here in the southeastern US is wild - 60's one day 20's the next. Even had 2 days of light snow! It's playing havoc with my bones! I have been in bed almost full time since Jan 1.

Thank God for you guys - I know you understand.

Anne
