199.5 so barely, but I will TAKE it and shout from the mountain tops! I have broken the 300 pound hurdle and now the 200 pound hurdle, never again to see those numbers!

For all of you that have made the leap, you know how high on life I am right now... for those of you still headed toward the light... IT IS AMAZING!!!

Everyday it just gets better and better!
Love, health and happiness to all!

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
