~G, I being a male probably have no right in putting my 2 cents in on this topic ! I think one has to look at the lesser of evils and long term results... It is also my personal beleif that where TOS is involved RSD and Fibromyalgia are just sitting on the sidelines waiting to rear their nasty heads. Whatever you do my thoughts go with you and my prayers for a favorable outcome
as always
