: About Me

54 to female.
Live in the Calif. Redwoods about 2 miles from the pristine Northern Coastline.
Married 10 years June 17th to Richard, the tallest most intelligent and wonderful man I have ever known.
One son, from previous marriage. Jeff married a wonderful woman named Jenny and they have 1 and 1/2 children. I love my granddaughter, but live 849 miles away. Try to see them at least twice a year.
In 2003 graduated from Humboldt State University with 2 degrees cum laude. Archeology/Native American Studies.
Have tried almost every sport there is. Played most of them until I made my first skydive. That was the ultimate, and nothing else even came close to a skydive. I gave up all of the other sports and just skydived. Fastest sport you can do without wheels. (ie:my name Skywnch).
Have had 2 strokes, several bouts with gut paritinitis, heart problems and yet there is more. IT SUCKS. So, I am disabled. I hate that my paycheck is only $449 a month. Some contributor eh? Especially when I made over $50k when I worked.
Otherwise life is good. God sees me through. I know he will guide me, and I figure I am Job, and soon I will not have to throw ashes upon myself. From my mouth to your ears God.
I say: do everything you want to experience in life before you marry. Make sure you are ready to settle down, and that you have had all the big time fun you want. Life is not a dress rehearsal... you can't go back and do it over again.

Health & Fitness > Alternative Therapies Managing chronic pain with alternative therapies

4 of 14

Solutions for reducing or curing chronic pain are numerous. The traditional methods are costly if insurance does not cover particular treatments and often leave the sufferer with little to no relief and the feeling of hopelessness. Holistic methods are often a quick fix for the pain, however, this is a short term relief of the pain, if there is any relief at all and it can also be very costly in that there are usually a need for repeated visits, or, the need to repeatedly buy the herbs and minerals that are used and are always expensive. The problem with these methods is that they are expe...
