Chi, I went downhill over the course of 2.5 years. I spent the last year of that in a wheelchair. I wish I could give you details but I was so clouded by alcohol that I really have very little recollection of those years. It started with mild numbness and a feeling of my legs being asleep, and got slowly worse to the point where I could not walk.

Yet, I continued to drink (and heavily). I look back now and can't fathom the reasoning that went through my head....but it did.

Newstown, thanks for the research (and me losing an hour of my life on Google)!!!
