im really starting to believe the viral theory more and more - not for everyone of course - but for a lot of us. yea i stay away from the crazies as much as possible but this past month i've seen an ENT 4 times, three PC docs, two ER docs, a neuro doc and now i'm going to see another neuro monday, a jaw doc tuesday, back to the ENT doc wed and there is still one other that i've been ask to go see. .... after ALL These people, i stayed in PAIN PAIN PAIN - and only had drugs that wierded me out!!!!! and usually didn't help. BUT this crazy woman worked on trigger points for 2 hours and this is the FIRST time since sept 28 that i feel wonderful!!!! sure, she knows that it doesn't FIX the problem but hell never do the damn meds!!!! BUT whatever she did got rid of the pain. and i didn't have to pay her a co-pay and got 2 hours of work without charge because i prepaid for a year of chiro work and these folks had enough compassion to actually do something besides watch me suffer and ask a bunch of dumb questions. but you are right about staying away from the crazies - i know that there are a lot of them with a lot of wierd ideas. thanks for your concern - nice to be thought of
