Hey Nancy, I live in New Jersey. I lucked out with the chiropractor (who sadly has retired since) and he could actually get me able to move fairly painfree during those times I was in between surgeries and prior to menopause (which was accidental since one ovary got removed and the other one left sort of fainted...) The menopause ended up being a lucky break, although the first year i was ready to rip the heads of f of about anyone who tried to talk to me LOL. I characterized it as having a car going 100 miles an hour, then having the bumper tied to a building -- lots of burning rubber. Anyhow, now my endo has stabilized, but i got a load of adhesions. Luckily I just have this one pooping problem (for lack of a more technical description) and just a little pain here and there.

Hope you can keep going to a chiropractor. I hear ya about the accident. I just spent 18 mnths recovering from a concussion. Imagine the memory problems of a concussion PLUS menopause. Hehehehehehehehehehe, but I have defnintely found one has to be extremely cautious about chiropractors, but the muscle work is great and has helped me alot. What was I saying..........??? he he he.

take care, -tinky
