Celtic Soul,

Sure it is worth a look --or ten or twenty or fifty. I'd do just about anything to be able to pick my instruments again. (I'd even got to the crossroads. **BIG SMILE**)

I quit Nutra Sweet (Aspartame) for two years 'cause a well-meaning folkie friend told me he thought it helped his wife. But I eat tons of oatmeal trying to bring down my cholesterol and I had to put sugar on it just to get it down after quitting Aspartame. Result was I gained 30 pounds and I saw no improvement in the MS or the cholesterol. But we do gotta keep trying, right? As my support group is fond of saying,

I've got MS, but MS hasn't got me !
