Hello, I'm new to the community as well. I never communicate on line as such. However, situation has called for any bodies that live in the world I live in, alone with pain and no intelligence in sight. As I am reading some of the postings, I see I am in good company. Sorry for all of the pain and problems all of you have. But, bear with me. Even sitting and typing hurts. Back injuries as well as TOS post operative pain with stomach complications of some sort.
