Hi Pln! Yeah, I have to carry a not so heavy backpack. I guess, two extra kilos, and two extra kilos of overweight ;) I went to the doctor and prescribed me thiamine for my recurring lumbagos (last one 2 weeks ago!). Some two or three years ago, I had a lumbago some few days before a competition in other city, (I do it just because I like, I'm not competitive at all), and made the decision to run not being still recovered... And I survived ;) And I felt happiness! Against all odds! ;) (just practicing that idiom).
By the why, my doctor told me that facial masks to avoid contagion of swine flu is 92%! What an accuracy! I guess she is newly graduated ;) I mean, I'm afraid and to look for my ailment in Internet ;) Seriously, is common to realize that young doctors are good, and some old doctors are not so good. My time is up :( I hope your things are getting better.
