lol.....I have been using the name Magician since 1985. I am a 'old timer' to computers. When I first saw the Internet in University it was known as the BBS (bulletin board system) and looked identical to what the Net looks like now except there were no pictures. It was all text. I am such an old computer user I refuse to get a cell phone for I do not wish to be chained to a phone. lol

I think your name of icky is not icky when you explain how you came to choose the name it makes perfect sense to me.

Ray from the bottom of my heart thank you for making me feel welcome. I was so convinced I had AS I was floored when the dr. told me 'no. it's scoliosis'. I was so brave not crying in front of him. When I got home I realized how serious it really was.

Now the exercises the Arthritis specialist gave me to start doing daily made sense. And his telling me to 'not slouch and always sit straight' because I could become paralyzed if I sit the wrong way made sense. And the Arthotec. I was always told it was OK to take Extra Strength Tylenol on an as needed basis. Now I am being told to take powerful Athrotec twice daily AND Tylenol alongside it.

A doctor would never ever tell a patient to be jacking themselves up so high unless it was serious. frown

Can I send you a PM on this website?
