hI Lovestofish,

welcome...I hear your pain in the fight for comp....it took me three years to get my appeal but did eventually win my case and they are now paying my way....not that it is much.....but better than no income!!!!!

oh the weight gain......I tried yoga you may want to consider it as it is low inpact and I find I gain relaxation skills from it as it teaches you how to breath properly.....

Have you tried progressive muscle relaxation??? it teaches you how to notice which muscles do what as you tighten them then relax them in a certian order this way you can learn to do a body scan which means you can notice when you are tensing up your muscles.....and relax them as best you can...like when your shoulder goes up past your ear

I hope we can help you with resources and if you need articles to take to your doctor I'm your gal....let me know what type of info you need and I will do my best to find the article you need to educate your physicians and your comp idiots.....lol

take care and welcome
