Robyn, I am a new list member and have just read your post. I had a Copper 7 too. I am not familiar with Wilson's disease. Did anyone who responded to you have it. Is it very common among people who had Copper 7's? What are the symptoms? Only reply if you have time.

I thought he was crazy, and only months afterwards remembered the Copper 7. The test results are not back yet, and I do not really believe I have Wilson's Disease. I do, however, believe that the makers of the Copper 7 should have been more careful before releasing the device to an unsuspecting public. > >Be that as it may, thanks once again to all those who replied to my posting. > >By the way, Pat, although I am writing this message, the E-mail address is in the name of my husband, John.
