I am retiring from DU! [View all]

At least I can read the msgs. but I won't be posting (too much trouble with my health problems).

I don't think anyone knows what is really wrong...it's neurological that's for sure..can't walk, speech is slurred..memory has always been stellar and still is. Ditto with cognition. I'll take their misdiagnosis of Advanced MS.

I have usually kept my opinions to myself anyway ...no huge loss!
