Isn’t it amazing how fast it works? It’s astonishing how so much pain can be dispatched so quickly.

I remember reading this post some time back (around the time that you and I were emailing about the treasury receipts data). I’ll admit that I casually dismissed it as interesting, but probably more of a placebo effect than anything else. Well, fast forward a couple months to this morning whereupon I awoke with a damnable knot in the muscle above my scapula. Aspirin, back rubs, etc and nothing’s having an effect. Somehow, I remember your recommendation to try a little antacid. Figuring what the hell, I pop off the trading desk to the corner store downstairs, buy some Tums, pop 3 (note, on a relatively empty stomach), and lo and behold, 5 minutes later I feel fantastic. It sort of feels ridiculous to admit this, but the muscle is as loose as a goose. In the past, I’ve tried everything to resolve these knots that I get regularly, and nothing every works. Go figure that it’s your diabolical recommendation that does the trick. Thanks a bunch!
