OMG Ed, This on top of everthing else you are dealing with. It is sad that the only treatment of this rotten disease takes what were otherwise perfectly happy, healthy individuals and makes them sick as a dog. Then sometimes leaves them with permanent side effects like yours. Life is just not fair.

I hope you enjoyed your birthday and may you have many more.

Take care,
Eileen
