Yes, it does and it feels like it when it starts to travel.

It wasn't always in the same shoulder blade, but in one of them for sure is
where it started.  Very weird.. I'm trying to remember when I had it last.. it
was years ago... perhaps it was a virus going around.

Geez... and we've got so many allergies in our family.. I can see it now if I'd
agreed to take it.. It is the only one of the CRAB drubs though that can be
taken with the LDN that I take so I actually seriously considered it.. just to
shut the dr's up (bg)

Hopefully it doesn't last too long - is the Copaxone helping with the plaque at
least? I know it won't help with the MS symptoms (or one shouldn't expect it
to).

Yeah, you only see them generally in the early spring..

Oh yes, he's probably thrilled with your garden, sadly enough.. Maybe some
chickenwire around your tomato plants will help.. that's all my first garden
had, but I sunk it into the ground quite a bit to keep burrorers out. I use
James Underwood Crocket's Victory Garden Book (greatest ever on PBS) still to
this day to plant and maintain my garden :) I was so upset when he died.
Brilliant man :)

> -> Oh that's worse to me.. :(

Ah it's my mind taking over.. can't stand the thought of the critter buying it
that way.. meanwhile, I can't think of a good way either. (g)

:)  A Maine Coon lover.. :)  Ron thinks it must be a breed thing.. he says
maybe they think they are tigers Lol... Did Max fetch qtips if you threw them?
It's funny, after you own a Maine Coon, all cats seem so... small. (g).. Poor
Tina, my current kitty, is about 1/3 the length that Pete was.. and I won't
even talk about tails :) :)

Boy, did I mess up with Pete's age.. he was at least 15 as well.. :(  We got
him when he was six.. Ron's boss couldn't keep him because of situations at
home (probably allergies & kids). He told me Pete was more a dog than a cat
Lol.. He was quite desperate to find a home for Pete, and had heard that Fred,
my alley cat had died (everyone knew Fred (g)) .. I remember asking him, ok, is
he affectionate?? Does he still PLAY?  (laugh - boy did he :)).. We had him a
year or so and then he lived with all through our stay in Louisville (7 years)
and then after we moved back to NY, he lived another two years.. then we had to
put him to sleep because of the cancer. We were both right there holding him.. 
 I'd like to get another Maine Coon someday.

Take care,
Janis
