Please feel free to post comments, suggest topics and ask questions, but I cannot respond to them directly. At times I will address a reader's question or comment within a posting. As with all such sites as this, it is not intended to give individual advice, to advise on your treatment or to substitute for your own doctors. It is intended to give you some insight and background that I hope will help you understand the disease better.
