Congrats on getting through the Tx, Dkob131...............let's pray that it did the trick. Thanks also for the lecture info.......if Meyers is covering all that info, there's a little bit for everybody in the lecture.

Wishing you the best result from your SRT and thanks for the info on the broadcast. I'm going to give it a listen to hear Dr. Myers directly. I've heard a lot about him.

Take care,
Jake

Thanx guys for the support.  Jakester it looks like you're on the same road as myself.  I had a few issues during SRT but for the most part it was pretty uneventful.  I did continue working out which seemed to help.

David,
Thanks for the advice on working out. I had to suspend my gym membership while recovering from broken ankle bones but I will restart this week. I've heard about the fatigue and potential loose bowels so I was apprehensive about going back while going through SRT. It seems like this wasn't a factor (or enough to stop you) in working out?

Our best to you and the rest of the gang,
Jake

Jake:

I would strongly suggest you try and stay active during SRT, it seems to help not only your body but your mind also.  I've worked out in some form most of my life and it seems to help my attitude as much as my body.  You'll do fine during SRT.

Many thanks for the reply! I'll be a familiar face at the gym during SRT and after. Sometimes I need a boost in my mental state so I'll kick up my exercise to clear my head.

Take care,
Jake

David,

So glad you got through your SRT. I know the feeling. That was a way lot of gys they gave you for salvage. Hope you are re-couping fine.

I sat next to Dr. Myers for two days at PCRI in Los Angeles. He's the real deal. And he's a great guy!

Thanks for the post.
