Hello again Allan,
I'm sorry to hear of your difficulties. I can only imagine how it feels to lose your ability to function physically in such a short time. The only thing remotely comparable that's happened to me is I went completely blind in my left eye in six months (then got a lens implant) and three years later went blind in my right eye in about eight months (and got a lens implant again). With the first eye, it was very scarey and disorienting...

Someone I've just met has primary progressive MS and he works, drives a vehicle, and uses voice recognition software to write because he is in a wheelchair and his hands don't work well. His attitude is amazing. He is determined to enjoy life in whatever condition he is in each and every day...like Art, Mary, dharmabum, CapriUni and whoever else I've left out in the MS catter crowd. These folks seemed to have figured out how to thrive despite the MS. Good luck and we'll all be rooting for you. Love, harpgirl
