Chroma, thank you so much for taking the time to post your wellness plan. I have printed a copy and have reserved two of the books at the library. I am so miserable I don't know where to start. I have hope from your post because I know a person who actually has TOS will understand how frustrating it is to constantly take one step forward and three backward with the wrong stretches and/or strengthening exercises (given to me by well meaning PTs).

I don't know why, but if I give little weights a try, I am set back every single time. I need some guidance as to where to begin. The past few PTs I have seen take it as far as they know to do, but it seems without an at-home program, I loose almost all of the benefit in a very short time.

Also, does magnesium really help? And what about caffeine? I drink about four cups of coffee per day but my doctor(s) have never said it would make a difference. Does it?
