No one can tell another person what he or she does or doesn't feel as it's an individual kind of thing.
Re the anxiety statement.. puh- leezzzzz .. anyway just in case there is some angst going on and I'm sure there is given the pain and symptoms mentioned please have a few cadillac margaritas for me!
take care Cheryl and hope you get some *helpful* replies soon  |
i have anxiety because of my pain and function not the other way around. this site is to support those with spine conditions not make us feel crazy. i have had three major surgeries over the past four years on my neck. thank you Maria for the support and understanding. i will toast you next time i have a margarita!
