Oh! That's horrible! I don't know if it will work for you, but if you can put pressure on the spinous process, (the bony part of the vertebrae in your back) at the level of L5, it can help. To find L5, the top of your hips, if you put your hands on them with the thumbs on your back, the bony part that sticks out in the…

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been around... been very busy commuting and balancing work with son, divorce, etc. However, I did finish the C25K program, and ran my first 5K in honor of my friend who passed recently... it was a race for Organ Donor Awareness, and he died waiting for a kidney. Sadly, I am not eligible to donate a…

Hi Chocolickkyss, As for training, I used to be be a competitive swimmer, so I just do interval training mixed with long swims and some stroke drills to improve my technique... as for running, since I'm new to running, I'm mostly just trying to build up to the distance I'll be running. Some of that is interval training,…

What is HCG other than hCG as in human chorionic gonadotropin which would imply you're pregnant? : )

GOOD LUCK! You've found a good group of people and an excellent tool! : )

I don't know how it feels to have been asked for a divorce since I am the one initiating it on my end... he basically doesn't love me anymore, but would be happy to just keep on using me for support, so, now that he's admitted he doesn't love me, I'm moving on. However, I went through months of silent grieving of the end…
