no, it's been chronic again. apparently the numerous stones i have been producing are leaving the body in large numbers lately...the docs also said something about crystals that are very small but still painful floating around in there.
i'm looking at going to a specialist at a university medical school research place next summer to see if someone on the 'cutting edge' of things like this might have more input.
I get off work in about 15 minutes. Doing a 40-man raid in WoW when I get home, then I'm going to straighten up my art desk a bit so I can some stuff done.
