Guest guest Posted July 16, 2000 Report Share Posted July 16, 2000 Hi , Sounds like the chiropractor you visited, didn't diagnose your problem correctly. And I hear your anger about his mistreatment. He does sound incompetent. Was that your only encounter with chiro's? I have the same kind of feelings about a physio I went to for tennis elbow. I had been newly diagnosed with CMT and I went to her because she said she knew about CMT. I was experiencing chronic tennis elbow and I was lifting hand weights (5-8lbs.) regularly . She told me to continue with the weights and I did, but my hands got much weaker. I am sure it was the repetitive weight lifting that hastened the weakness. I never went back to this physio, and I think I should have gone back and told her what the outcome of her therapy was, so I could let go of my resentment towards her. Did you ever tell that chiropractor what the neurologist found out? P.S. Tabba is a bit cranky in her old age (12yrs) and isn't that social with other cats, but Keiko the young one(2yrs.) is very gentle and would love some feline talk with Ella. Keiko is a beautiful red point Siamese cross with big blue eyes (but doesn't have the Siamese brain) so I sometimes call her a dumb blonde(she doesn't mind, she knows she's beautiful, and she's smart enough to get what she wants!) She would like to play with Tabba but Tabba isn't much into chase games anymore., so would Ella be her " catmate " ? LOL!
