I don’t consider it spam either. I find it imformative and promising that someone other than a large company is trying to develop items that enhance our lives. I feel the people that think outside the box and are not looking for a profit margin to sooth their board of directors are the ones

Hi All, I saw a psychologist last week, it was the first part before going to see the pain Doctor who will prescribe my new and improved pain meds. I thought it was a JOKE! They, Kessler, had mailed me a 15 page form to fill out regarding my pain - where is it, what meds am I on now and on

Wow, I just signed into e-mail here thinking of all the pain I am in and how hard it is to concentrate when the pain is worse than other times. Like today and over the last couple days. Syringomyelia is at the crux of *my* pain problem (like Danny described below) and I consider THAT to be my
