Folks;
I am happy to report that after an infusion of 1000 grams of
corticosteroids, I am much much improved. I will have to take them for
three-four more days, but I am very grateful that my near sorted it all out,
finally!
Anyway, I can't come back to the US. How would I ever be able to
afford the insurance? It would cost $1,200.00/month just for me! (Empire of

Dalton,
You are in my prayers.
Just don't go on working if you really aren't up to it.Getting
on disability and back to the USA where you can find a good neurologist might
be an option.

Friends;
I seem to be getting worse quite quickly. pain across the back
and all
the skin iom my arms and legs up to just above the elbows and
knees. I am
also having whole-body contractions, first on the back, then on
the front.
Unfortunately, the neuro service here is a joke.
I could use some prayers, really. I hope I can still work, but
if things
continue this way it will be impossible. The pain and weakness
is just
too tough to overcome. Actually, I am now thinking I must
shift to a
wheelchair, one where I can use my feet to mve around in, since
my arms
are now too weak for much more than typing and dresing.
Thanks, for keeping me in your tooughts and prayers,
Dalton
