I agree with all you are saying and can truly understand where youre coming from. My intention here was not necessarily to dwell on the past. I got a message off list that I think answered what I was looking for that I didnt even realize I was looking for it. This person commented that finding that things they had experienced and ignored 20 years prior to having any really noticable problems made them feel better knowing that it took that long to get to this point and that this wasnt going to just attack them all at once. As a newbe, I guess when you are suddenly faced with this disease and cant link it to the past, near or distant, it makes you wonder. For me the symptoms developed suddenly it seemed. Now I am thinking that some of the symptoms may have been lurking for some time and that there is time ahead of me that can be productive. That is a comfort.Thanks for responding and giving me your outlook and perspective on this. Jennifer Smith -- Ars Longa - Vita Brevis Art is Long - Life is short :(:) )
