I use it though b/c by the end of my shopping trip I am exhausted and in sooo much more pain. I have to try and ignore the bad looks and stares though. I do find that it is hard to find spots sometimes and I hate when people use them who truly don't need them, like using other peoples tags.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099878720994777657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987477584072502787.post-91555703101466054812009-05-14T01:04:00.000-05:002009-05-14T01:04:00.000-05:00Anonymous ~

I took the chance to visit the website and read the first chapter of the book you sited.<br /><br />While at first I thought it all looked promising, I'm not so sure now. I have been offered a lot of snake oil. Now that's not to say that that's what this is, I don't know, but it just seems dubious. If it works so well, why haven't I seen clinical trials with it? Where are the follow-up and long-term studies? Just having patient testimonial isn't enough to sway me, I'm sorry to say. Why doesn't my doctor, a leading expert on pain management, have any information about it? Why has he never heard of the machine? Why is nobody else using this technique? I'm also leery as this doctor sells his machine, so he has a vested interest in it working.<br /><br />I invite comment from any of his patients. Perhaps I will take a trip to Corpus Christi and see for myself. But I do question "easy answers" to a quite complete disease.Judy Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986715935145286141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987477584072502787.post-84336012319961973772009-05-14T00:11:00.000-05:002009-05-14T00:11:00.000-05:00Dear Judy,
There is hope. There is help. A doctor...Dear Judy,<br /><br />There is hope. There is help. A doctor in Corpus Christi has been successfully treating RSD for over 15 years. He treated me and gave me back my life. In his clinic, I met many of his patients. I found people here in town he has treated, and I know them. I met people from other states and other countries. He has a very high success rate. His treatment is non-invasive. It is drug free. He has a book out. You can read the first part of it for free on Google Book Search. The book itself is listed on Amazon. The title is PAIN BANISHMENT. His website is paindefeat.com. If you click on the Patient Testimonials link, you will see a drop-down list. Click on your ailment of choice (he also treats illnesses related to RSD). You will be taken to YouTube where you can see and hear patients talk about what he has done for them. This treatment is the best thing out there. This doctor is worth checking out. My very best to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987477584072502787.post-23791756206994752402009-05-12T23:30:00.000-05:002009-05-12T23:30:00.000-05:00Yes Anonymous, you are absolutely right, I can rep...Yes Anonymous, you are absolutely right, I can report to store managers that someone is illegally parked in a handicapped parking space. And yes, I could have asked the girls to please leave that bathroom. But I'm working towards the bigger picture. I am trying to promote an awareness that would stop those incidents from happening in the first place. I want to open dialogues where people can hear the struggles of people with disabilities, and work together at minimizing those struggles. I don't think that those people were being mean-spirited, I think they simply didn't understand. I want to help them to understand the cost of their actions, then maybe they won't do it again. That's my goal.Judy Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986715935145286141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987477584072502787.post-91296148454924532452009-05-12T19:03:00.000-05:002009-05-12T19:03:00.000-05:00why not call the police or report them to the stor...why not call the police or report them to the store management???<br /> a good manager will call police for you.<br /> not 911 but the regular number.<br /><br /> Restroom thoughts -ask the girls if you can use the restroom because the others are in use/broken etc?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987477584072502787.post-16716248678607594082009-05-05T15:43:00.000-05:002009-05-05T15:43:00.000-05:00Cats never leave their cars in handicapped parking...Cats never leave their cars in handicapped parking - that's why I prefer them over people.Keithhttp://www.arachnidgraphix.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987477584072502787.post-47146290294202586022009-05-05T07:48:00.000-05:002009-05-05T07:48:00.000-05:00I've often been tempted to have sticky notes made ...I've often been tempted to have sticky notes made up that I can stick on the windshield of someone parked (perhaps unlawfully) in a handicapped space.<br />"There are many truly handicapped people who need this space.
