I was curious how Annette has been and, like some of you, was sad to see the reality. It reminds me that if/when a medication or therapy becomes available that is proven to work for more than just 1/3 of us, I will certainly consider taking advantage. Everything offered now is too iffy for me. Even if Annette had taken a DMD from her beginning, she still might have come to this condition. That is what I mean by "iffy".

Apparently showing both extremes of MS's destruction doesn't appease some people. I'm not saying this AT anyone because we are all allowed our opinions. I understand kicker's tightly closed eyes as well as I understand (and appreciate) Aarcyn bringing this to our attention. Often I read that people do not like seeing the advertised mountain climbers and marathoners. Annette's condition is the far other end of the MS spectrum. To those who don't like seeing how well people can do, do you like seeing how bad it can be?

Is it only the middle ground you want to see?
