hi harrie- i guess that is why it relented a lot this weekend after reiki friday night and a lot of sleep. then re-started after i got into a fender-bender in the walmart parking lot yesterday.

just what i needed. i think it was a no-fault accident, we backed out simultaneously and bang, but his car has a dent and my jeep doesn't, so i imagine i'll get blamed and hit with a higher insurance cost. it's hard enough paying for cancer on my own right now. since it is stressful and fatiguing in and of itself to work full-time and run up to the hospital daily for radiation, i don't know what to do. klonopin didn't stop it at all. anyway, at this point i feel like a baby complaining about it after the news about madubois and all she went through. on the other hand, stress is a recurrence factor, isn't it, so i have to figure out some way to stomp mine down into the ground and just keep on keeping on like i have the previous 5 months of this B.S.

appreciate everyone's advice and support very much. valerie
