I thought of something else, and then I'll really shut up. My father, after retiring as a minister worked as a volunteer in a hospital for 20 years in the acct. dept. (the field he got his first degree in). He worked mon-fri 8-5, only taking off for vacations and drs. appts. He was hospitalized here, one of three hospitals he was to be a patient in over a period of 10 days before he died. They had offered him a paid job which he had declined, wanting to take off when he wanted or needed to. Their hosp. bill was the first to arrive, and the first to send a collection notice (because of course we couldn't pay it because it was then in the lawyer's hands).

Ok, I really am done now. Sorry to have jumped on this thread so heavily.

Phoebe,
You're right about those massages! It's been a long time since I've had one myself but all this talk about them has reminded me that I need to make an appt. I know what everyone is talking about here- I haven't been able to do my job for several years either.

Default Causes for TOS

I`ve got arterial TOS after an accident and the doctors say that I have the ideal thorax to get it - maybe the accident was the "acceleration" of TOS.

Just wanted to add this!
Bye Barbara

Hello; It was 18 years of hairdressing that caused tos. Especially the last 3 years working in a very busy shop (sweat shop). I was in the same position for 8 or 9 hours a day, arms raised, neck forward, almost like an assembly line, very poor posture. Lots and Lots of repetition with my hands and arms.
