A journey written for my healing and maybe help for some one else as well. For about 5 years I have been suffering with muscle and nerve pain off and on, at times very severe and hard to do most normal tasks. The pain has escalated in about the last year. It is difficult to pinpoint a distinct area in my body and makes it difficult to describe, therefore difficult to treat. Doctors often looked at me like I was crazy or a hypochondriac. I had been told several years ago that I had chronic nerve damage in my leg probably from a car accident, but I really think that key diagnosis help to prevent any further investigation of what I was going through. On top of that I was experiencing kidney and bladder infections frequently which made my diagnosis even more difficult. I was usually treated with antibiotics and pain pills and sent on my merry way, only to return some times just weeks later. When you know your body and you know something is not right, but no one has an answer why you suffer that much, it’s torturous.

They have no other agenda but to flood your server with nothing but junk. I have no problems with legitimate users that want drop the name of their site while they leave a comment, but to leave a bogus comment just for the purpose of doing so, well to me that’s just stupidity. In this day an age it’s rather dangerous to click on these types of links, so to all of our users PLEASE do not click links that you are not familiar with and do not have adequate anti spam software. Remember we try to catch this type of stuff, but it can be difficult to get to it in time. If a link seems odd or disconcerting to you it probably is a bad link. So if you are one of those people(spammers), remember “What comes around usually goes around in tenfold” and you will probably be the looser in the end!

They are so reminiscent of the 90s style of web design, but some things are always cute. We hope you enjoy!
