SC, only on a little valium so many things have failed , and i have fused and fused, but i make the best of every day and have even come out of a wheelchair and using a cane instead. Chanting and praying have helped my best to all of you and i hope you know you are not alone and this is a real disease even if a doctor says i have no idea what is wrong, been there done that. finally a decent doc said man you are very far along how did they miss this. peace and light to all hope you can find relief and happiness even in little things some times. steve
