"Individual copies of ANA patient information booklets are available at no cost to members."

I think they also include one or more of them in the "Free ANA Information Packet" that you can get without becoming a member. Otherwise they are $1.50 to $3.00.

Thanks for the clarification, Steve.  I always mention the brochures to newbies because I personally found them extremely valuable.
 
If they didn't come free of charge, I wanted to know that so I could mention that also.  Don't want to lead anyone astray  ;)

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Hi SW,
Just read your post on the facial nerve issue topic, so came to this post to meet you!
You really are a walking miracle. I've never heard of such a thing- no symptoms whatsoever (at least no symptoms that you knew about )
It will take a while to get back on track, but you can do it, I'm sure, with your athletic skills.
Make sure to do something special for yourself every day, no matter if it is a nice bath, a chocolate, a pedicure.....it really helps!
