    You girls have done it again!  You are so right; finding out early is the key.  That way you just may be able to catch the little monster before he can do a lot of damage.  Now do not get me wrong he is going to do some damage, it is just that the meds can lessen the blow!  MS is so hard to DX it  mimics so many other things, it easily can be called the great deceiver.  It acts like this, when it really is that, and so on and so forth.  But once you finally find out then you can plan your stratagory of attack.  Getting there is the problem.  MS is funny like that!  We are getting there!Kiss
