Doc,
Physically, I do not match the profile.
I'm 5'3" tall (or short) muscular body, and slim.
I have green eyes, not hazel and medium dark complection, not ruddy.
I've travelled quite a lot. I've been to Israel, England & Amsterdam, plus most of Carribbean Islands, Mexico and Jamaica.
When I was 27, I was operated on my spine, to remove a pyonidol(sp) cyst. I was given spinal anesthia, as I was with my first child.
When I was 29 and pregnant with my first child, I sprained my neck. After my fourth child was born at age 40, I developed Graves Disease and took radioactive iodine as a treatment. I developed clusters a year or two later.
Luckily, I've never had any hormonal problems.
Thanks for your interest.
