I love the 'low expectations' coping skill...I use negotiations with God...If I give up doing this and this then can I get to keep doing that? So far, no go...
Lambie, thanks, yes, I am trying all of the natural antinflamatories from cucuma to ginger and kilos of coffee and dark chocolate...I stopped the fish oil (but eat fish 5xs week) and do mostly all natural foods with 0 chemicals.
The chiropractor is the European school so sessions are 10$ but it takes 1.5hrs the 1st time to get your history (mine is particularly long 
)
So the head professor came in and did all of the work on me....a very specific type of massage using heavy pressure but not pounding, using her whole forearm and weight on my back...it felt very good but do not know if it will be 'enough', no cracking ...I walked home and slept for 2hrs.
My problem is that I had cut all starches out of my diet and now I am eating whole grain bread again and wondering if it is not aggravating the inflamation.
The psoriasis (or whatever it is) may be caused by that too.
Can't seem to cut it out for more than 2 days at a time.
Took Ibprophene again this PM...it does help more than pain killers.
Thanks for the support
Sharon
