Andrea, I am sorry your symptoms have returned. I hope they stay just in the one area & do not return to everywhere you dealt with before. I just noticed that you are from Santa Cruz. Thats my old stomping ground. I was raised in Watsonville. I still come down there at least once a year to visit all my family. I love it there. I moved to Oregon almost 20 years sgo though to raise my son. Here we could afford our own home & raise him without some of the problems faced there. It was a good choice though I still miss "home". I guess I am still a California girl at heart. I am thinking of you. Good luck in school & I hope you can do your treatments soon so you get back to being pain free.
Hugs, Denny
