I think these eruptures are now even with the symptoms I had and the volcanoes may slow down. still, the eruptures are occurring, usually within 24 hours, but no more than three days. I mad the decision long ago that I would not write down every physical symptom because I have had my hands full with the PRs, SPs and EQs and just wouldn't be able to keep up with both. So, I don't know where all the areas of my body match up with world locations. But I think I am beginning to know what head spot goes with what volcano. Popo is top of my head, center and to right. Colima may be top of head, back from center and to the left.
