Wow, this post is getting old, but it's getting better, too. Tinkieanne, I have been to a neurologist a few times. In fact, so far I've seen 28 doctors and specialists of one kind or another, and been to six hospitals. I do suffer from MPS on occasion, but it usually happens because I tighten myself up so much to minimize the other pain. Thanks for the input. It all makes me think.

DizySara, I've never heard of the flouride connection before. Can you tell me where you read that at? I live out in the country, so our water isn't flourinated. It comes strait from a well. Isn't water the major source of fluoride in most people's diets? I'd love to hear anything else you know on the subject.

I've continued to grow and learn with my conditions, and I put a lot of effort into it. I consider myself rather well-informed. But there are so many opinions out there right now that it would drive Confuscious crazy!

Thanks everyone for all your thoughts and advice. It's a really big help to be able to discuss this with people who really know what I'm talking about.
