Thank you, welcome team. That's only the partial list of my physical nightmares. I have a genetic defect called a Chiari One Malformation, which is a cyst at the base of my skull that causes the tonsils of your brain to slip down toward your neck. Also a syringohydromeglia from T3 to T12. This is a fluid filled sac inside my spinal cord that shouldn't be there and I feel it presses on nerves. These a both rather rare. I have developed scoliosis with degenerative disc disease. I almost get some twisted thrill out of listing all my issues for some reason. It's probably because I am now quite successful at being much more like a normal person, at 69. It is truly such a pleasure, I won't let these things take me down!
