First - welcome to all the new people on the list. I have been out of town
over the last few weeks, and was amazed to see how many newbies have joined
us. This is a great group of people, with lots of support and advice.

Second - I wish everyone a happy new year. May this be the year for medical
breakthroughs, much recovery, and great success. I look forward to meeting
many of you later in the year.

Finally, a personal update. It looks like I get to have a myelogram next
week. I just have this thing about spinal taps - I've had at least 8 over
the years between this illness and encephalitis earlier on. With me, its
more phsycological than anything else. I plan to ask for good drugs in
advance to help quiet the anxiety. I continue to go down hill - more
numbness and tingling, more fatique. I hope they figure this all out soon.
