Doydie, I'm so glad you are going to see your PCP.

Not only fixing hair, but washing it, putting in earrings, putting on makeup, anything where I have to raise my arms quickly wears them out.

I used to have hair halfway down my back and mostly wore it in a ponytail. Now, I have my hair as short as a guy's. I have it shaved, about 1/2 inch on top and very close on the sides.

I love it. I think I'll keep it like this, at least for awhile.

I hope your doc is able to clear up your skin problems.

Well I saw him today. I knew I was in trouble when my appt time was 4:15. I got out qt 6! I have these pains that go down from the back of my buttocks, is there a front, and go down the back of my thigh. The pain is worse according to what chair I am sitting in . It also prohibits me from walking very far. I know all you nurses out the are thinking peripheral arterial disease, I did to. Also sciatica. But it isn't a severe pain and I have wonderful pulses in my feet and they don't change colors. He pushed around on my Sciatic notch and no pain. So I get to have an MRI of my low back!!!!! Who-pee!

My feet. All this leg pain is in my right pain. I have pain in my outer upper thigh. I thought it was hip pain but Doc Crawford says not in the right place for hip. Anyway, back to the foot. It's this foot that has been numb for so many years. Not numb like I can't feel it but paras-thesis numb, like in MS. So I always shrugged it off as another MS symptom. So maybe it might be related to the back. The other foot we agreed is probably plantar fasciitis (SP). So I will see a foot specialist for that and hopefully get fitted for an orthotic.

OK, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!!!
