Who am I? Why do I think I can help when the pills, doctors, consultants haven’t?

This blog isn’t about me but I know from my own experience it helps to know that the person who is giving out suggestions has maybe been in the position you find yourself now. Below is a checklist of problems I have had over 25 years given in non medical terms (i.e.lower back rather than lumbar spine, middle back rather than thoracic spine and neck rather than cervical spine) so its clear to those who aren’t familiar with medical terms.  Whilst my own experiences have been serious enough, there are situations that I haven’t been in where emergency treatment is required, loss of bladder control etc. If in doubt seek medical attention, especially before trying anything on this blog.
