Re: A question for the ladies

This subject makes me smile, because this morning I had lower back pain
and was thinking, "Wow, I usually don't feel lower back pain; it usually
makes it's presence known further up at T5 (where I transition to
normal), so this is an improvement in my nerve function!" Then I
remembered it was my phase of the moon, and merely cramps.

I've always had cramps in my lower back between the day before and the
second day of my cycle. I can see that hypersensitivity could make it
worse in some women, but fortunately, that's one way I'm not
hypersensitive.

Dear Barbara:

I am so glad you addressed this. Yes, yes, definitely yes. I thought it
was only my imagination. Now the question is why?
