Allan---HELLO,

You might recall I had ten years of spinal and neck surgeries for the symptoms you describe!! Finally, in desperation, I wound up at Mayo Clinic where, after 2 months in hospital there it was FINALLY recognized that I'd all along had Multiple Sclerosis.

BEFORE GETTING CUT, check up on all options other than surgery. These 'specialists' see everything with the tunnel-vision of their own specialty. Nobody, ever, even mentioned MS to me as a possibility.

Now, 20 years on, I am just about positive I didn't need ANY of the damn invasive cutting the neurosurgeon hotshots were certain would make me a new man.
