I'm a little afraid because this is the first time in 15 years that I have had any neurological deficit--just when you think it can't get any worse! I am so anxious to talk with all of you and will do so as soon as I get the green light from the doctor. Take care, Elaine http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/856941/72426/lose-touch http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/856941/71234/thanks-all Sat, 16 May 2009 22:50:42 -0400 mustbehope I am a real newbie on this site and doubt a lot of my posts went through. But I wanted to thank all of you who responded to my concerns with such humanity, compassion and knowledge (all lacking in friends, family and the medical community). I want to keep in touch with all of you-hope this post works.
