Hello, All. I hope all are coping well. I haven't been on the MG site for over a year. MG for quite a few years. Still taking Mestinon and Imuran. Still working after military and civil service retirements. I go in August 6th for a three-vertabrae cervical fusion. I had a lumbar disc removed just before Desert Storm, but deployed anyway. I had polio as a twelve-year old. The neurosurgeon says my cervical degeneration is either due to genetics or a lifetime of tremendously hard work. I opted for the hard work. I do not believe any of my maladies are connected to each other. I have learned to just cope as best as possible and keep going. (Don't like the alternative).
