*Health Improvement: Improvement in back pain and curvature of the spine (kyphosis and scoliosis)

Pain. The sensation that would wake me several times a night, greet me first thing in the morning, and accompany me through my day. Pain that never really left. Pain that would lessen slightly and then intensify. My back is twisted and curved from scoliosis and kyphosis. I also have reoccurring muscle spasms from a muscle in my lower back that I injured nine years ago. To complicate matters further, I suffer from Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and hypothyroid. I needed release from the intense pain I suffered and the way out came from T-Tapp! I joined the challenge because I had already started to have a significant change in my pain level from using Basic Workout Plus. In the past, any type of fitness competition would have been impossible. The changes to my body are significant. I don't feel so "deformed" any more. My clothes fit differently over my back. People have noticed the change and are amazed that it happened so quickly.

Relief from pain is only one of the ways I have been changed and challenged during the last 60 days. Having never been an athletic sort of person, I have never participated in an event like this before. I naively thought that only my body would be challenged. However, days before the start date, things started cropping up. The plumbing in my 80 year old house decided to give way. I had four separate plumbing emergencies and I do mean emergencies. Pipes leaked. Ceilings dripped. Sewer drains backed up. I also planned and hosted my oldest daughter's graduation ceremony and party. Our family took a week's vacation with my husband's family. My family of five returned from the vacation with a very special gift - the most violent stomach/intestinal bug I have ever witnessed. My dog returned from the boarder's with an infection. On top of a sick family, I had a sick dog. Someone close to me passed away.

In the past, I would have thrown in the towel, but I was determined that if I started this challenge, I would finish it! There were times that I hobbled along, but I remained faithful to my goal. I want to tell everyone that Yes You Can! T-Tapp through all of these life wrinkles. I took all of my workout clothing, DVDs, and portable DVD player with me on vacation. I also took my measuring tape because the 30 day mark fell during our vacation and I was not going to let that sidetrack me! When I started to get a migraine, I popped in Basic Workout Plus. While it didn't prevent that particular migraine, I believe that it shortened it's duration.

I am happy to say that I am now able to finish Total Workout and I think it may be my favorite workout. I am amazed at the pain relief I have found and the increased mobility that has come with Basic Workout Plus and Total Workout. My family relationships have improved because I am not so grouchy because I am not in pain all the time. I am an avid flower gardener and I have been able to accomplish more in my garden than ever before. I can take my dog on long walks and still be able to participate in other activities once I get home instead of sitting on the heating pad. T-Tapp has done so much for me and I would sincerely like to thank Teresa and the whole T-Tapp team for this wonderful opportunity and for taking the time to listen to how much T-Tapp has changed my life. I would like to meet Teresa in person one day and tell her how much she has improved my physical and mental well-being! Safety Harbor would be the perfect place for that to happen!
