Saroj, It is so good to hear from you. I have thought of you often. I am one who reads, but rarely posts. After 16 years of TM I have now contracted another autoimmune condition and am on massive doses of steroids to try to get it under control. This time it was with the peripheral nerves

Here it is almost the 4th of July, 2010, I haven't written in a long time, and here I am again at a major turning point in my life. It all started in mid-February. While on vacation in Mexico, my right foot started hurting. More fun and after-effects from my Transverse Myelitis,
