Thanks for sharing, Cheryl. I went for 4 1/2 years of the constant banding pain from & 7 on down. My daughter finally talked me into going to our local chiro who used two different vibrator/machines on me plus laser and when I walked out that first day, the band pain had lessened to where it felt just like the pressure of a bra. I go twice a week and am so thankful to have found him. Because of the way I walk, he also needs to adjust my back off and on. I knew my neck had been out since my twenties and he picked right up on that, too! Medicare plus my supplemental pays for all of it. Jack and I don't ask 'how', we are just thankful our daughter is as stubborn as her mother!!!
I haven't given up on the Lyrica and Tramadol for the pain and neuropathy
and Ibuprofen for the breakthrough pain but whatever he does is a welcome
relief!! Jeanne in Dayton, WA

Hi,
I was not fit and not active outside of work,but I still miss my life
before tm.Just being without the constant "band" around my trunk,not being
numb (for the most part) from T4 to toes,able to walk more than 50 feet
without my "strong" leg giving out. I worked at a well paid job,drove a car
had a life.
Now I'm stuck in the house unless someone takes me out. Then I suffer
for days after going out.
I miss my old life a lot,even after almost 15 yrs. But,I have family
that love me,friends and neighbors that care. Plus,I get to read as much as
I want-about 4 mystery novels a week. I also can watch tv,eat,and sleep
whenever I want.
I'd say my life is mostly pretty good. I know it could be a lot worse.
Cheryl in Easthampton,MA.
