I don't really know any of you out there - I just read and watch, wonder,
feel support and wonder more. Some of you are real pros at the info. Many
of you in stages far more progressed than mine. I, in fact haven't a clue
as to what I "have" - pain, with every test ran, all negative. So started
the pain "therapy" for fibromyalgia. Shots in trigger points and
neuorontin. It seems to work for pain, but there is still a general
weakness and I can feel it traveling down my right side, kinds into my
groin/hip area. I trip, stumble.....

I had a neurofibroma removed 12 years ago...t10/11...now is there any chance
there is a correlation?? I feel like this group knows more than my
neurologist. Let me know whatz up!!!
