  my husband is a big believer in chiropractic.  me?  not so much.
  but i have seen my husband bent in two in pain, and after 3 or 4 visits to the chiro, back to his old self.
   
  at the very least, they can help you manage the pain.  there's just no reason to live with pain like that-

  Yeah, my dad goes to a chiropractor also and it is a world of difference in him when he gets adjusted after putting his back out.  As Secret said, they can at least help manage the pain until a point where you need more evasive action.  So sorry that you can't make the most of this visit with your grand daughter.  I would think, so far as the treatment program, that logically, as long as you're receiving medical treatment for your pelvic collapse, it's managed or manageable and they should be all right with it. It would be pretty poor of them to decide otherwise.  Keep your chin up.

  i tried chiropractors a few times throughout my life. i'd go a couple times a week for several weeks, and always ended up in more pain than before i went. i just have to wait it out now, it eventually stops hurting. hope you feel better soon speaking.

  secret...it's true, there is no reason to live with pain like that.  The treatment center is going to help me purge my internal pain, which has been my main problem...but a treatment center to help with body pain...naw, they won't go near it (too many addicts in the room wishing they were me *trying to stiffle back a laugh*
   
  Hegemone...today is over, and we ended up having a pretty good day, shopping, ice-creme, and a place called 'escape' a kids adventure park where Nana can read her book while sweetie goes happily wild...tomorrow, the movies...!  Also, there is a pool/hot tub at this hotel so she keeps dragging me down there, and it's great for the pain (the hot tub).
   
  travel...it's an unexplainable pain - that feels like in my blood stream - that's how all over it is.  So, when one says 'all over' it sounds whiny and non specific - but omg...it is the most uncomfortable ache I have ever felt in my life.  Also, today I broke out in a rash all over.  *sigh*  I blew my usual anti-natural medicine routine and went to a health store and got every natural hormone replacement I could find...since I'll be in the treatment center I want to be armed with something to at least try.
   
  *thanks all...*

  my girlfriend just emailed this to me:
   
  Once upon a time a woman moved to a cave in the mountains to study with a guru.  She wanted, she said, to learn everything there was to know.  The guru supplied her with a stack of books and left her alone so she could study.  Every morning the guru returned to the cave to monitor the woman's progress.  In his hand, he carried a heavy wooden cane.  Each morning he asked the same question, "Have you learned everything there is to know yet?"  Each morning, her answer was the same, "No, I haven't".  The guru would then strike her over the head with his cane.
   
  This scenario repeated itself for months.  One day the guru entered the cave, asked the same question, heard the same answer and reaised the cane to hit her in the same way.  But the woman grabbed the cane from the guru, stopping his assault in midair.
   
  Relieved to end the daily batterings, but fearing reprisal, the woman looked up at the guru.  The her surprise, the guru smiled and said "congratulations, you have graduated.  You now know everything you need to know".
   
  "How's that" the woman asked.
   
  "you have learned that you will never learn everything there is to know and you have learned to stop the pain".
   
  ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....that's what I want to get out of the treatment center.  And, how to stand up like a woman to the doctors who are clueless with female organ issues...

  tomorrow night will be the end of connection to the world as I know it...then it will be time to face all this crap head on!!  I have to turn my laptop in at the gate...sigh...cellphone..gulp...all gone.
   
  Now, how did we survive a couple of decades ago?

  Hope that you feel better and all goes well.

• pusscat said on May 24, 2009....

  I really hope that you can get some relief from this pain speaking.  I think, if you find a reputable chiropracter, they should be able to help with pain management.  No one should have to suffer like that.
  
  The best of luck too for the treatment programme.  I know how nervous and excited you are all at the same time.  You are stronger than you think you know otherwise you wouldn't have made this decision in the first place.  How many people sat and thought about it I wonder then didn't follow through like you are.  Remember that strength always.  We all have little glitches that we hit now and then when we are trying something so life changing like this.  Don't see any glitch as a failure - see it as another lesson learned :-)

  lol my mother and i were talking about life before the internet just yesterday...
  we did without it. we laughed and cried and lived without it.
  good luck with your treatment.
   

• speaking_up said on May 24, 2009....

  Thanks all.  I saw a little saying yesterday, "If you tend to your garden, you believe in tomorrow."
   
  I know I am not alone in wasting my life away for too many years now...people all over are drugging or drinking or crying or suiciding or hating or raging or isolating or zoning out on television...until they die.
   
  I started to think "if I have to live, I want to live WELL" a couple of months ago, after my last suicide attempt failure in september 2008.  For some bizarre reason, and one day when I come home I will talk about it, it just was not my time.  Too many times it was not my time, and believe me it was not for lack of trying.  Something was interfering with my plans and whatever that reason is, it finally caught my attention.
   
  So, I'm looking at my internal development like this: yearning to go into this treatment is a symbol of me fertilizing my soil; being in the treatment center represents the water my bulb needs to flourish. 
   
  When I come home, I hope to be blooming.
   
  (((hugs)))
