Hi Kevin,

It's almost one of those things you feel is too good to be true.. :)  Well
time will tell.

Oh yeah, I've had it for 35 years now.. You couldn't tell by looking at me,
unless I'm having a darn bad day and limping some. In general, I must have
had the easiest ride with this than anyone I know, though my doctors always
tell me that "most MS patients have it like you do".  There are
some rough cases, I had two friends of mine from high school killed in
their late 20's from it.

Yeah, but you guys up there are at least looking at it :)  Over here in the
states, there has been one hospital/university looking at it (Buffalo, I
think).  And if I'm not mistaken, they halted research when a couple people
died during the surgery or something.

Take care,
Janis
