Chiropractors are good as far as they go, but I distrust them when they start saying that they can cure my diabetes and such.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yes, indeed. There's a decent amount of evidence that spinal manipulation is -- in general -- about as good as physical therapy or other noninvasive methods of treating back pain. Not a magic cure for everyone, and it might not alleviate all the pain, but a worthwhile treatment option -- for spine-related shit, and nothing else. I do not get chiropractors who are all "I can cure your allergies!" Are you God, dude? Because I think that's pretty much the only way it's happening. (Chiropractors of Lourdes, Inc.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I think I may look for someone who does both chiropractic and massage. Found someone who treats ironman athletes as a specialty, may give him a try.

I would expect someone who treats ironman athletes to be able to deal with chronic bastard-laden pain*.

AND he's in network!! Woo fuckin HOO. I think I'll call right now, because I'm having trouble focusing on work and I think it's triggering a panic attack. This despite having stretched last night, done a few squats, and taken half a Flexeril before bed.

Hey, we are as one, except for the whole I-edit-you-do-awesome-carpentry thing. I have been stretching the hell out of every relevant part, lying on the heating pad, and taking flexiril (which has become as effective -- though not as tasty -- as Skittles at relaxing my muscles).

Dammit. He's on vacation this week so I have to wait until the 29th. Maybe I'll go see someine else in the interim.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Do it, smonster! Then you can encourage me to do the same, because my back and hip pain is not getting any better either.

Someone around here drowned in an Iron Man competition this weekend. Sad.

And THAT is why I don't exercise.
...not really, I'm just lazy.
Scuse my whinge - this fucking sucks. I feel like I can't breathe because the muscles along my ribs on my left side are clenching, and I just hurt. I do not need to be missing hours right now.
