W. Re: Has this happened to you? Long story

Oh, who would have thought sneezing could cause such pain? Even

careful moves like " WALKING " or just standing upright throws you

into agony. I don't want to wish this pain on anyone, but I'd like

for a dr to know what it feels like to be trapped in a body that has

forsaken you and punishes you.

Yesterday, I walked outside with my husband (and my cane), stooped

down very slightly to smell my lilac bush and ZAP, get me back to

the couch NOW NOW NOW, where's my heating pad? where's my ice pack.

Oh what have I done, this is what I get for smelling the " roses "

(lilacs!)

Thank you for listening, I understand...sometimes there's even an

invisible crack you can stumble on that sends you reeling. (esp. if

you're clumsy like me!)

I have to watch the way I walk outside. A 1/4 crack in the sidewalk

can ruin my whole day. If I turn my neck too fast, I set off my

spondylitis. Normal household chores put me out for days.
