Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Happy Anniversary Donna!

First a personal note- Yesterday we celebrated our 15th Wedding Anniversary. Donna- thank you for the best 15 years of my life. I hope to be able to be as good as husband to you as you are a wife to me. I adore you- thank you for all you do for me and our daughters, and all of the love you bring to our lives.

Insurance Woes…

Thank you so much for the enthusiastic responses to my insurance piece last week(Part 1 HERE / Part 2 HERE). I am amazed by the sheer number of folks who have really had to struggle to get services covered- even people with socalled ‘Cadillac’ plans faced all kinds of trouble. Several of my friends have had an easier time sorting out their issues using the tips I outlined in the post- and these are the very tips I used to sort out ours, so share them!

Insurance nightmares…

I’ve read some of your stories about difficulties with health insurance, and it is amazing what some of you have endured. Please continue to send in your thoughts and comments on this topic. Again, I know this is not strictly a back pain issue, but as it seems to affect pretty much everyone, it warrants some discussion.

I am currently putting the finishing touches on the insurance nightmares piece. Check in on Monday. In this post I will share with you some of our recent experiences, and then provide you some tips for helping resolve issues with your health insurance carrier.

Tips for mass transit…

On Wednesday, look for a new post on ways to make your commute on mass transit more back friendly.

Thanks for stopping in. Have a great Mother’s Day, and a fantastic weekend.

Be Well,

-Andy

Discussion about lifestyle and back pain with Terri Trespecio, Martha Stewart Radio

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Yesterday, I had a great time being interviewed by Terri Trespicio on Martha Stewart Radio. We covered all sorts of different topics on back & neck pain from callers all around the country. I was also the butt of some pretty hardcore ribbing about the tatami mat I sleep on- but I digress. It really was a lot of fun. Terri is a great host, and the callers all had interesting questions and comments. If you missed it, it will be rebroadcast this weekend- check out the Whole Living website for more info.

Following the show, I had the chance to speak with Terri about some of the lifestyle issues which can contribute to back pain. Ironically, Terri had been dealing with some back pain this past week, and was headed to her physician’s office right after the show.

Here’s the clip:
