Default No, not crazy

Desperate might be the word. No one is going to do this research in time to help us. We have no choice but to take these risks. But places like this give us a chance. I learned from what you did and I thank you sincerely.

In a matter of a few minutes, I could barely walk. I was in the same condition as when I've finished my test, barely walking. Their wasn't any reserve of meds in my system, so when my meds wore off, I couldn't walk. It took me quite a while to get back home doing baby steps and shaking all the way. I sure people though I was a druggie, drunk and mentally retarded. It took until now to get a reserve back in system. I'm starting to get my old self back. I held off posting this 'till I knew what was happening and that this was just temporary.

Crazy me,
