Carol,

CS> DS> Admittedly, a lot of my disabilities are hidden...but with the recent
CS> DS> diagnosis of being in the early stages of degenerative disk disease in
CS> DS> the spinal column, they won't be taking away my disability now!!

CS>Sorry to hear that.  it's what I have and no fun.  Be prepared to make some
CS>serious life changes to keep it at bay.

CS>Be very careful to not get overweight.  That makes it a lot worse.

  Well, my BMI classes me as obese. When the doctor says "you're
overweight", I reply "tell me something I don't know". The
worst time of
the year for dieting is the holiday season, or with family reunions.

  My Dad had that as well, but he wasn't overweight. Yet, it was
pancreatic cancer that killed him...he only lasted 6 weeks after being
diagnosed...right before my parents 54th wedding anniversary.
