Hi Pam,
I don't know whether to say you are lucky to know what caused your TM, so
you can avoid anything that will make you sick, or what to say. I don't have
any type of rheumatoid illness and in December I was tested fully for a ton

CLOTS AND I NOW CAN PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING. AS FOR MY IMUNE SYSTEM A

ABOUT ME.

' I do feel muscle pain at certain points and to me, that is a good feeling.'
