Choice, it sounds like you have you house in very good order....and a window left open.

Thanks, Steve...the whole community is awesome. Not to step on any toes, but I'm not really looking for any help. After 27 years of learning to cope, I'm comfortable with my pains and limitations. I know that might sound strange to some. But I am more in tune with my body than I ever have been. I know what is healthy for me. I know what works for me. I take care of myself...physically, mentally, spiritually...better than most "healthy" people. I am no longer interested in running to every doc, specialist, alternative healers (legit or not) to find a miracle. I've seen people do that. I did that early on. Your life becomes this search and you don't enjoy life any more. If something came along and it sounded interesting to me, I might take a crack. If Helene Langevin came out my way, I would love to talk to her. I definitely will read some of her work. Hope people understand. Keep throwing things out here.....who knows?

Indeed, Mike you are right. It is Tom sitting on the far right while Dr. Moshe Solomonow PhD, MD (Hon) dances a jig during another of his insightful and entertaining diatribes. at the close of the 2nd Fascial Conference in Amsterdam, Holland
So, from right to left are Tom Myers, Andrey Vleeming, Peter Huijing, Robert Schleip, Harriet Hall, Leon Chaitow, Helene Langevin and Thomas Findley (at the podium)

Dear Choice and group
Thank you Stephen for inviting me to this group..
MY goodness Choice the Fascia gods sure seem to have it out for you. Living with both Lupus and Scleroderma (PSS to us lingo type of guys) .
I would really encourage you to read as much of Helene M. Langevin MD work. SHe and her team have been doing great work in the area of expanding our understanding of your two challenges. I have included a brief bio and couple of her publication citations at the end of this posting. She works mainly out of the College of Medicine, University of Vermont. She is very easy to talk with and is a powehouse of information. She will be onew of the key note speakers at the Massage Therapy Foundation CIM Research Conference and would be well worth seeing.

Hope you find this info usefull
Yours
Don Solomon, RMT (Vancouver, BC, Canada)

Bio and Pubs
Dr. Helene M. Langevin received an MD degree from McGill University, followed by a post doctoral research fellowship at the MRC Neurochemical Pharmacology Unit, Cambridge, England, residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Endocrinology/Metabolism both at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD. She studied acupuncture at Tristate Institute of Acupuncture and at Worsley College of Classical Chinese Acupuncture. She currently is a Research Associate Professor of Neurology, Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation at the University of Vermont and is the Principal Investigator of two NIH-funded studies investigating the role of connective tissue in chronic pain, acupuncture and manual therapies.
