    Sciatica

    I had three bouts of awful sciatica flareups that took up to 4 weeks to start improving. I could hardly walk and the pain went in the butt and leg and lower back. I've been seeing a chiropractor to control but not cure it. When I start to get "cocky" and go higher in the impact, I start to...

    HELP - - - - Sciatic Nerve Relief

    I had three awful attacks of sciatica and I literally could not walk without excruciating pain in the butt and leg. I couldn't go to work for a couple of days and then hobbled to the subway and feared the trip home. I went to the chiropractor and it took a good three weeks to "begin" to feel...

    As a woman who feeds the strays in my neighborhood, it was wonderful to hear a happy ending for the kitty. Brought tears to my eyes.

    Some Questions About Sciatica

    I've had three bouts of sciatica in the past four-five years. It was the most painful experience next to having my daughter (which was shorter than the weeks of agony with sciatica). I would hardly walk and had to limp in extreme pain on my left side. The chiropractor helped me alot - I...

    One of the happiest and saddest days of my life today

    Hi Jerry, Just wanted to chime in - my mom also has alzheimer's and right now is pretty functional living with my brothers on a rotating basis by month. My dad died January and mom doesn't remember him. She knows me when I take her out to lunch every Saturday, but doesn't remember where she...

    Reflections on the 4 Day Split

    I have been a Cathe fanatic since Step 'n Motion I in the late eighties, buying every one of her products - 4DS has been a big disappointment for me - I found the step workouts extremely frustrating, and the quick steps and turnarounds easily can cause me to injure myself. I absolutely loved...

    Ezekiel Bread

    Alvarado California Bread or the Sprouted Barley Bread are the best breads and the only ones I use. They are costly but worth it.

    So.....who else is NOT going to do the new workouts?

    Emily, I am in week five of my sciatica attack and it is much better but I dare not try these workouts for a while. And even then, I will be always doing them lower intensity. This is my third attack in five years, and I'm not taking any more chances. I will still do them, but I call it the...

    September 11 - Remembered! What were you doing?

    I was sitting at my desk in Midtown Manhattan when I got a phone call from a woman who was laid off on September 10th telling me that a plane hit the WTC - I first thought it was an accident - then she called me back when the second plane hit and I knew it was more than that. We were told to...

    Dogs2birds

    I have two parakeets and four cockateils. One of the parakeets was given to me by my brother who never tamed him and didn't take good care of him - when we got him, he was small and malnourished with a little hump back - so very tiny for a parakeet. The vet couldn't believe how small he was -...

    Hand Pains

    I also suffer from hand pain. I have a trigger finger in the right hand. Had cortisone shots that only worked for three months at a time. When I wake up the finger is stiff and hard to bend, but as day goes on it feels better. Sometimes I just have pain in that hand. I am living with it as...

    How Were You Introduced to Cathe/First Tape or DVD?

    Purchased Step & Motion I from Collage Video - I was looking for something new, since doing Joanie Greggans and Jane Fonda for years, and Cathe's tape caught my eye. The first thing that came to my mind when I did the tape (this had to be 1989 or 1990) was 'who in world is this?' - I loved it...

    Anyone else can't bring themselves to part with Cathe VHS's?

    My reason for keeping them: If I need to work out at someone else's house and they only have a VHS machine, I can take my tapes with me. I also have an attachment to Christi Taylor's VHS tapes, even though I have all of them on DVD. I say, if you have the room, just put them away - you never...
