taking a sabbatical

Hi guys

most of you would know I've been battling pain issues for most of this year. I try something, the pains go away or get better...then come back...

they're back again. They may be neurological or they may be something physical we haven't picked up yet.

whatever the cause the pain is constant.

It's hard for me to concentrate or give the best of myself right now, so I'm taking my Drs advice and taking a complete break from all my responsibilities - in short a vacation - to see if that helps...

I'll also be doing another round of scans, xrays and the like...

wish me luck - and I wish all you guys well too.
Hopefully I'll be back better than ever in a little while

Take care of yourself. That's foremost. And if possible, keep us updated.

Dee, I was thinking earlier today (or maybe I wasn't as I was posting the men's forum) how do you do it?..It has got to be A LOT. We will miss you but sending positive thoughts your way!

Thank you for everything you do.

Good luck with everything! I have constant lower back pain, and living with something like that can just be so DISTRACTING! especially if it's making you not be fully present in your own life. Feel better soon!
