Phil,

This is Sandy. I know I responded already to your questions, but I didn't
answer them all and I want to make sure you have complete information.

1) 29
2) Tremendously high stress level. I was just about to leave my husband,
enroll in a course to get a new job (I was a homemaker at the time),
setting up new living conditions and taking care of my 3 year old son. I
was also clinically depressed and had been for many years. (TM struck on
the exact day that my course started on so I never was able to take it -
sign from above that I was about to do the wrong thing??) ( I never did
leave my husband and I got help for the depression and have never been
happier than I am now)
3)none
4)none
5)I had the flu one week prior to TM
6)no rash
7)I live near (partially under) the overhead power lines.

Hope this helps.

Sandy
