Remember, knowledge is power.
I am assuming IVSM = IV steroid meds? I'll have to look for the abbreviations.

I have read 2 books already, everything on the NMSS page (printed out most of it for my family as well). And alternative pages and a host of other pages..LOL I am a research fanatic, and when I get something to research I don't stop till I have found the answer to every single questions I want. I researched Gastric bypass for 4 years - 2 for my mom, then 2 more for me. I researched my doc for about 6 months and I had the best!!! LOL

Your history really puts things in perspective for me when it comes to this disease. Do they think you had this a while before you were diagnosed? Do you use a DMD? And if you don't mind (I know us women never tell our age) how old were you when you were diagnosed?

Thanks for the info =)
