Re: [TMIC] to chiro or not to chiro
I have to add my AMEN to all this positive stuff for chiropractic care. It was a chiropractor that told me to get to a neurologist as soon as possible because what I had going on was not a chiropractic thing. He had just watched me walk down the hall and back to him when he said that. SoI did just that and by the time I could get there, I had full blown TM.

I'm so very sad about Dana Reeve's death. It is indeed a sad day. She was such a wonderful role model and truly a hero. Sandy

I have always had very dry skin and of course it became more so ATM. It's now better than it's ever been which is not so shabby for a 59 year old I reckon.I do believe also that it must improve the skin's elasticity because I'm not suffering from the drooping flesh which is so often a very unpleasant residual of huge weight loss.I have wanted to share this for some time but thought I should stifle my impulsive temperament for a little while to make sure I wasn't dreaming.Hope it's helpful to someone.hugsGillywww.originaltouchofgilly.comKrissy ZoddaTri State Support Group Leaderhttp://www.geocities.com/tmladyk/home.html~I'm In pretty Good Shape For the Shape I am in~ Yahoo!

Re: [TMIC] to chiro or not to chiro
Diane, I'm not into chiro but glad it is helping you. However I do want to ask about your weekly massage. Is it Massage Therapy or just a massage. I think there is a difference but not sure about it. Just wondering. I have been going to look at my health benefits from my company. I'm on LTD but still covered by the health plan. Was thinking that either Massage Therapy or massage could help me. My low back prior to TM bothered me with disc problems and sciatica down the right leg which is also my weak one. I find that besides the TM I still have pain from the disc problem from time to time. LIke yourself carrying myself differently against the pain and the weakness also affects other muscle groups and I was hoping for some relief there as well.

RE: [TMIC] Fish Oil
The only thing that I know about fish oil or flax seed either one, is that they are supposed to be good for you. I've never taken either one, yet.
