You fill out a medical history at her site. Just click on the front or back of the body on the screen to mark where pain is worst, slide a scroll bar to show the extent of the pain, from slight to intense, and the symptoms you have -- pain, tingling, that sort of thing -- and show on a clock when you experience the pain. Then respond to lists of symptoms.
When you've finished, for $49.95 Maggie will send you set of suggestions on ways you can relieve your pain -- and also suggest you see a doctor for a cure for the disorder that's causing the pain.
