Thank you for welcoming me Jude Lauren!

Yes, October is a long way off- and I had to phone twice and actually cry on the phone with the secretary to get the second appointment. I got assigned to a young neurologist with 5 children and so she only works one day a week. I mean, I guess that is now my problem, lol!

Yes, I am still working but trying hard to change jobs. I am not sure what new job to try to get- a sit down or stand up. Right now I walk alot on my job and bend over (I try to squat) but I am really damaging myself.

I would really like to tell my story because I am actually quite angry and confused and appalled over it all.

I truly only found out I had sciatica (or whatever the heck it is) this winter- I spent 3 years thinking it was my feet, and 2 years prior to that thinking it was MP and not worrying about it. So now that I know what it is, or at least the apporoximate location (between hips and waist somehwere, !!) I am really hoping and praying that I have a chance to overcome this- at least now I am barking up the right tree.

thanx again and I'll post over there more when I get chance. I see it is not that busy over there..
