Spine patients could be a valuable in power cuts because I'm sure I'm pretty glowy too. (turns off lights to check)

Maybe this is why I get hot so easy. People come over to my house and say it's cold and want a blanket and I'm sweating my rear off!I look at it this way, if we lose power for a few days, my radiational glow should be able to get us through it

I don't know, I know it's not menopause... because I'm only 29. I was not like this pre-spine problems (except for when I was big fat pregnant, then I was always hot).

Mine seems especially worse after surgery. Its like my body is cooking when it is healing from the trauma, I wake up with the heat which feels like a furnace burning through me. Don't think its the menopause as my mom only finished hers a couple of years ago so I have ages before I have that joy.

I've wondered why I felt so warm lately. Maybe we are actually the cause of global warming! Ok, my humor is pretty lame...
Honestly, none of us want even one more test than absolutely necessary. I shiver at the thought of the exposure from each flouroscopic-based treatment.
Hopefully, by the time our children are adults, the technology will be cleaner.
