I would like any information available on neuro-muscular degenerative
diseases. A ver dear friend is suffering from such a disease; from what she
has told me, her own immune system is eating away at the myelin oating on her
nerves, leading to a burning sensation in the initial stages followed by
weakness and loss of strength in the limbs. Currentl, she is still able to
stand and walk short distances, but must use her wheelchair more and more
often. The specific disease she has is related to lupus. I'm not sure of the
name/spelling here, but it's called something like 'neuromyalgia' or
'fibromyalgia'. Please send any info you can!!!
