" Hi, I have been a T-4Para for 31 yrs. I had bad spasms in my legs so theDrs perscribed Valium (a muscle relaxer). It worked just ok till I heard about adding Catapres patch from Kessler. Works great & no more spasms for yrs. For painI just take advil now. It is very hard at first but you might try to relax your body (bio-feedback). You have a long life ahead so you don't want to ruin your guts with harsh meds. It will be ok, I had 2 boys 1 & 2-1/2 and they grew up with me just fine. Be strong, it takes some time to adjust & find what's right for you. If you want to talk just type or e-mail me. "
