I didn't know that. Not that I vacuum much anyway, but I sure won't do it
after sundown from now on!

Care to elaborate on the brain chemisty changes? I don't care for the
sounds
of that.

I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, except he's very into the
latest computerized office technology and you'd think he'd have some kind
of
safe guards programmed into his office stuff to prevent this. His computer
does everything but greet the patient!

I've got bulging discs in the lower back that give me a lot of grief when
I
forget and do something I shouldn't do then end up on the floor for a week
or two. Just getting over one of those episodes now. I usually take muscle
relaxers for that but this time I just "toughed it out" for fear of
throwing
another drug into the mix. Also just had neck surgery in August after 2
months of level 8 pain because 3 of the neck discs had deteriorated and
were
pinching nerves all over the place. Now I have a plastic neck, but it was
worth it.
