i was joking.....i have tried to pass on some things to people who have similiar symptoms as i do who have been through the same exposure but i usually dont think they get it or want to get it or are hoping the doctor will tell them something different even though the doctors usually dont tell them anything. These are relatively young people. Older people usually have come to realize that what they have has no easy fix. I met a guy a few weeks ago who dates his PN back to the Korean War when his feet froze. The VA agrees with him.
