i have not been to any meetings, but i did go to a few AA meetings about 5 years ago with my buddy who just got sober. i have to tell you - i thought it was the most amazing, supportive thing i'd ever been to.
alot like here - but with faces!
we did go to one meeting that was kinda weird (the group) but the other couple we went to, like i said, were really great...
but enough about my hair.. is there any exercises you CAN do? i know you had your knee done... :-/ also, have you read The Road? I meant to ask you last nite.. if you haven't - it's amazing!! i think you'd like it, based on what you said you liked.

slow but effective.
my back was bad, pain 24-7, now its quite good, comfortable most of the time.
also my pain was SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED when i quit the pills (this is not unusual)
for some reason, all the pain really ramped up again, off of the pills.. i personally felt like i couldn't handle another day in tears...
but i do know one thing: this is a temporary "fix" until the epi. if it doesn't work (which i don't even want to put that statement "in the univese").. this is not a long term option (the meds.) period. if it takes surgery (which all research now, for my condition, says to avoid IF YOU CAN..) but if it takes that, it does.
long term pill use is not an option for me anymore. i saw what it did to me.. i stopped living...
anyway, that's my story... :-/
