ok, Marina.

snip So I'm waiting to see her, and will probably
have to have a lot of tests done, but apparently the prognosis is usually
good and it's easily treatable, so I'm not worried any more.

But it is the weirdest thing I ever heard of. Thick skin??? Just call me
Lizard Woman.

Thanks again for all the purrs. I sat there in the doc's waiting room,
smiling to myself when I thought of all the kitties around the world
purring
for me. ;o)

That is strange Marina, I've had trouble with my neck for the last six or
seven weeks the Dr says its athritus,
probably is, but when you hear of things like this,
well it does make you wondermy pain goes rightup
behind my ear and round the back of my neck. anyway
I'm glad to hear that your feeling better about it and
can get treatment. Jean.P.

Thank you, Christine and Victor. The news is not bad, though I really
didn't
need another disease to worry about. I feel I've made too much of a
mystery
of this, so here's the story. I'll try to make it short.

I've been seeing a physical therapist for some while for my neck and
shoulder pains, and he found a lump on my neck. I went for an ultra-sound
examination, and the good news is that it's not a tumour, but the bad news
is that I have abnormally thick skin. Apparently, everyone has this lump
in
their neck, but mine was noticeably because of the thick skin. The doc
checked lower on my back and on my arms as well, and it is too thick
everywhere. No wonder I'm stiff! You might think that having thick skin
would be a good thing, but apparently it can indicate some systemic
problem.

Well, the doc I saw yesterday (Thursday) was my occupational health care
doc, and when I told him about my diabetes and all its complications, he
thought it would be better to refer me to my diabetes doc for this thick
skin thing, too, because, as he put it, it's better to care for the whole
person than just one symptom, and the thick skin indicates an internal
medical problem anyway. I'm happy with with being referred to my diabetes
doc, because she knows everything about my health and will be able to
piece
it all together, as it were. So I'm waiting to see her, and will probably
have to have a lot of tests done, but apparently the prognosis is usually
good and it's easily treatable, so I'm not worried any more.
