To Heidi

[Guest guest]

Hello Heidi,

I'm so sorry about the sciatic nerve problem, especially as you've

been doing so well pancreas-wise. I have no experience of this, I'm

afraid, apart from my Headteacher who had a bad bout of sciatica

recently; at least that's what it was diagnosed as. He could hardly

walk at all and getting in and out of his car was clearly agonising.

The odd thing is that it seemed to disappear on its own after a week

or two. I don't know if that means it wasn't sciatica after all or

if it means that you can hope for the best, Heidi! Of course, his

wasn't the result of any obvious incident or injury as yours was; as

far as he knew, it just appeared out of the blue so maybe the whole

process would be different in that case.

Let's hope the chiropractor really does help anway.

If you're anything like me, you sort of think that other medical

problems shouldn't really affect us....we have enough to cope with

with the CP! Of course, it doesn't work like that!

I hope it goes away very quickly and that you manage to enjoy that

ride with Austin.

Hopefully someone with the condition will give you advice now.

Take care and take it easy.

With very good wishes,
