But the data also show that war did not cause the decelerations. There were no wars prior to the GDP declines that bottomed in 1908, 1933, 1938 and 1982. These declines occurred during Cycle and Supercycle degree corrections in the inflation-adjusted Dow, another measure of social mood (see Figure 2).
I went to a foot specialist and she recommended custom orthotics, though she wanted me to go to a specialty shop. I went to the machine at Walmart and the testing sent me to the 440 Dr Scholls. I bought them and almost immediately after use my back pain improved. Now I can walk for several hours with no problems. They last about 6 to 12 months of continuous wear. When the pain starts coming back I know it's time for a new pair.
Since I don't have health insurance, he suggested that I try orthotics for now until I somehow come into enough money for surgery. His estimated price for a custom orthotic is about $400, which is a hell of a lot for me (I'm a waitress). I already paid him $200 for two visits, one cortistone shot, and the x-rays, plus I just went to the endocrinologist (good news there: no hyperthyroidism) and paid $600 for a crown for a tooth.
