Kimmi:
Excuse me for butting in but I had to put my two cents in too. If you
were/are on Lupron, be careful about going to the chiropractor. As you
know, Lupron causes bone loss and if you have experienced any bone loss,
the chiropractor can do more harm than good. Be sure to have a bone
density test before going to the chiropractor since the greatest amount
of bone loss is typically in your lower spine and hips.
Good Luck!
Hugs!
