i have to put my two cents in right here!!!! i've been mostly observing
these past months for my sis jacci who was has tm and i think you are
ALL very caring and informative people, but, lately it seems someone is
always on anothers back. don't think i don't know what i'm talking
about when i say this (i have deterorating disks, i know pain), when
things get very rough and frustrating, you used to walk and can't, you
used to work and can't, play is limited, etc., you tend to lash out at
people you love and will understand you. that is what seems is
happening. understand that everyone has an opinion, and, when life is
painful, it's better to shout with a keyboard to people who know what
you're going through.
