Dear Barbara, That was Great! My hat off to you and anyone else who's fighting for reconition of the seriouisness of this disease. I've seen my mother-in-law in the last 3 years deteriorate from a very mobile, self-sufficient, self-supporting woman, to almost total immovability. What's really hard for her and everyone else is she is totally functional upstairs (mentally). She's aware of everything thats happening to her, but is powerless to do anything about it. In her case it almost reminds me of Lou Geirids (sorry for the spelling) disease.
