Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Hi Iris...this strange sensation/pain happens at various times...can't liink it to any specific action, but will pay attention. Fifteen is an 'interesting' age...they think they're grown but they have a long way to go! It will get better. My girls & I have had our adventures, and we're still here to talk about them! : ) Much Love... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Thanks, Iris! I'm going to take it easy today and hopefully tomorrow will bring a better day. Lots of love, Carol Re: [ ] Carol Dear Carol...I'm sorry that you are still feeling so bad, I hope relief will come soon. It is so hard not to feel depressed when feeling so ill. You have certainly had more than your share lately. Be kind to yourself and hopefully tommorrow will bring a better day. Hugs to you.
