When the band starts to hurt and you described it very well, I know that the pain is going to get worse from my breast line on down. It feels like a steel wire just getting tighter and tighter. It hurts so bad and then the pain intensifies from there on down. I usually add Tylenol or Ibuprofen to what I'm already taking to take the edge off but it just makes my whole body drag. It makes me tired just to breathe!! You explained it perfectly. I just don't know what triggers it other than the weather. It does help to do my water therapy in the hot tub, tho. Quite a job, having this TM, isn't it??!! :) -------Original Message------- From: Janet Dunn Date: 8/10/2009 12:13:11 AM To: 'jrushton'; 'tmic' Subject: RE: [TMIC] question Hey Jeanne When you say that the pain starts worsening at T4 (which is where mine is) and you know the rest is coming, what do you mean by that? I am finding lately that the fatigue is awful. I spent yesterday morning garage saleing, and then the afternoon was naptime. Today, I could hardly drag my butt out of bed, and I did a little yard work this afternoon, and then back to bed. The band is like a jagged razor blade, under my breast. I just get so tired, and so sore. That is what frustrates me. And yes, the constant work at keeping the plumbing working. Yikes that makes me crazy. One thing changes in your routine, and you are down for the count for days. Enough of that. Janet
