Bob, what does PIA mean? They had originally put me with a PN specialist but then put me back with Dr. Dash. I just get a weird feeling like he is not taking me seriously cause, not even doing some of the tests I have seen online...maybe after the tests they will put me with someone else.....I could barely hold on to the standing Romberg nor do the tandem at all and he said it was probly a "medicine effect" . Well who knows. Maybe I am being overly concerned but after all the effort of getting up there didn't seem so special...at least he talks! My local neuro barely says a word. I am going to change, (the local) but am in the middle of SSDi case so I am going to wait. For now. Found a group with a website that says they are compassionate.

Re: the D.....apparently is quite an epidemic and not routinely checked. I do not believe I have osteoporosis yet....48 years....if you live above a certain lattitudes you can't get enough in winter and there is not enough in milk and such....you may want to google it, there is a lot of talk about it in another forum i use for fibromyalgia...I hope it does help......I don't know how to cut and paste an article or I would!
