LOL -------------- Original message from "jrushton" <jrush...@columbiaenergyllc com>: -------------- Hi, again, Janice! On your number two, I think the banding seems to be where the damage is. Mine is right at the T4 and hurts 24/7. It feels like a steel band around my chest that is pulled so tight it cuts into my skin. The pain meds I take do seem to take the edge off which really helps. I had to find a bra that was the right fabric and didn't gouge or rub and I did that which also helped a lot. I do have a increased pain when I wear certain clothes and fabrics. If I put on a pair of pants or even a dress that is made of certain fabrics it's like acid on my skin. I've had to get rid of most of my clothes which was okay since they were my dress/work clothes and scrubs and mainly wear clothes that area soft cotton.

I am lucky that it's ohly on the right side at my waist. I have to wear pants and shorts with elastic and they are pulled up above the banding pain area. somedays pain is unbearable some days just don't notice it.... -------------- Original message from "Janice" <jan...@centurytel.net>: -------------- This is Janice, I have 2 questions: 1. With hot weather coming, do any of you have a problem with all of a sudden being really hot? I know some of you had a problem with the cold last winter, but does your body change in summer and you get hit with being hot instead of cold? I really have a problem with heat - especially with humidity. I get hot, then weak. Not good. 2. Several of you have mentioned the tight "band" around your body. I am not sure this band is in the same place for everyone. Also, has there been any change in the band with those of you who have had TM for a long time?
