Hi guys. Im sorry I wasn't on yesturday to celebrate with you guys, I was scheduled for a spinal tap. However when my neurologist started the procedure he didnt even get the needle all the way into where he needed it to be before I was saying ouch ouch ouch, this really hurts. I didnt scream or yell, I just looked at my husband and had tears in my eyes and my neurologist said he couldnt go on with the procedure. Long story short Im having it rescheduled with the radiologist there to do an exray so that I can see exactly where they will be poking me and the doctor will know where to poke me without damaging a nerve.

Here is the link to the story for fibromyalgia they did on me in the local paper:

You did an amazing job with that story.
Be wise and dignified like the swan: he maintains his composure, staying unruffled on the surface, while always paddling like crazy underneath.
