and not painful :) :)

I really feel bad he's retired now.. he was such a great doctor.. The guy who
replaced him is so geez..has to be in the lime light.. completely different
kind of doctor.. :(  I lasted two visits with that one (grin)..We waited for
hours in his office for my app't...where with the first guy you knew if you had
an app't you see the doctor exactly at that time.. it can't be that hard to
do.. (g)

Yep, especially with neurological things which can be caused by so many
things..

I'll check that one out too if I decide the pills aren't helping.. still not
sure how long it's been haha  I guess it's been a few months now though.. I've
missed a few days here and there though, so I'm giving it a long period of
time.

Still have to check Lol

Take care,
