Hi, my name is John and I study the masters programme for automation tecnology at Chalmers university of technology in Gothenburg, on the west coast of Sweden. (Northern Europe, you know) I am 28 years old. Until last week, I thought that I had MS, but a visit to a new neuro set me back a year, back to the state off not knowing what it is I have.... L-dopa and an MRI will hopefully show which disease I'm dealing with. Isn't it great? Asking for a second opinion, and getting a different answer than the previous doc gave? So, ever curious as I am, I joined this list to see if there are any others in my age out there, and to have someplace to share feelings and experiences. The alt.support.mult-sclerosis newsgroup has filled that spot until now, but if it's Parkinsons' I have I naturally want to discuss this with others in the same situation. /John. ps. Hope my grammar isn't too much of a hindrance to you, I have been known to backwards my sentences write... ;)
