Thank you so much for seeing my post as what it is - I AM so thankful when any of us find a way to make this disease or illness BETTER.

So, how did your TOS start going down in pain? I haven't seen that -

And right now, since I had to move from my favorite home in Corona del Mar beach, to out in the desert of Palm Springs area, I don't see any of the TOSers who used to meet at my house, or Cyn's, or the LA girls...

I feel so alone with this TOS.

I realize that there are many of you out there in other states and countries who must feel alone like this.

I was lucky to have those TOS meetings because we shared HOPE and LOVE towards one another...it was GREAT stuff.

As most of you know, I have two young adult girls. They've both been so affected by my illness - because I was wonder-mom-woman, and although I was preparing them for life, I wasn't preparing them for life with no mom...and so now we've got our problems that are popping up, and I can't just whip out my checkbook. I'm struggling just as if I'd never gone to college, law school, worked so hard - I'm struggling as if I'd never finished high school - but I'm usually a survivor, too.

Sorry to highjack this thread - I'll start another.

Can you share what ART practitioner you saw? Some of us could be in their area.

I totally agree with him on not holding a stretch. Just going to the edge of the pain and back a few times works much better for me. No tension response that way.

You might try PMing that question to him as this thread is from 2009 - and he hasn't posted much since.

That's the first thing I did, but I have found that when people stop posting, they also stop responding to PMs. That's why it would be nice if when someone posts their email address, it was left alone instead of edited out. I understand the argument about spam, but it's moot these days because all email users need spam filters anyway, whether they post on a board or not.

But if you disagree, an alternative is to break up the address, like changing "foo@bar.com" to "foo -AT- bar .dot. com" which people can figure out, but spambots likely won't. And it respects the original author's intent.

I'm doubtful that I'll get in touch with Mikeyson3 or that I'll get the info I'm looking for.

Many of us have survived without the Internet for many years, so how about a little patience and respect?

Generally it is only newbies who have any link, including emails, blocked...because THEY might actually be the spammers ...

Now back to the main topic...
Did you try a web search of his username? It might bring up something helpful.

I web searched his username, but that didn't produce a reasonable way to get in touch.

well i guess the only way to put hes theory to test is to go visit a chiro who is trained in ART and see if it works.

it didnt work for me, but i am complex lol
