Harry, you can find it in the link within the link that BBS posted:

You have to keep reading down for awhile to get the more detailed info. Let's see if this link gets you right to it.

I got an "instant" dx of both MS & HNPP in July, 2003, but had likely had MS for at least 30 years by then. I've never taken any prescription meds for either MS or MS symptoms (except 1 yr on LDN).
