I have four:
Primary care physician
Opthalmologist
Gastroenterologist
Pulmonologist
I have high regard for all of them; and believe they think the same of me.

Whoops! Sorry!

That was a typo!

I meant 1.2 (annualized).

Periodic visits to the ortho guys, and the annual physical, attended religiously once every 3 years.

I'm 36 and I really only have 1 - my GP. She referred me to a sleep clinic and I saw the doc there for a total of about 7 minutes. I don't really consider myself his patient.

Too freaking many! Oh for the good ole days when you usually only had one, your family physician. I'm not a bunch of bits and pieces. I'm one entire human being. At least I was last time I checked.

Hi Newname

Here are a few links -

http://www.badbacks.com.au/shop/product ... ing-device

http://www.backmagicworks.com/

http://lumbarextender.com/instructions.html

Both these are pretty much the same except that the Lumbar Extender is made from tougher materials, and lasts longer, and is more expensive. Be careful, some traders package the BackMagic as Lumbar Extender, and charge the Lumbar Extender price.

I have both, just to have backup, as eventually the holding clips of the BackMagic break off after about 15 months.

They are worth their weight in gold, as I now have hours of daily functionality from my back, which I never got, and never would have got, otherwise.

I guess a Google search should find an outlet in your area. If not, the guys at BadBacks will probably be able to mail you.

cheers

Mars
for an an easier, cheaper and travel-easy sleep apnea treatment :D
