Hey Daniella, Sorry for that crazy rant post it was the 8th time I tried to get it out and my thought process wasn't the greatest I ever had.

I even forgot my bout with pneumonia when the muppets creator Jimmy Henson died with the same strain I had. My wife had to come to my work and take me to ER and she told me I threatened the ER Dr. with a law suite if he wouldn't let me go home, then 24/7 my wife stsyed by my bed side wipeing my forehead with a cool cloth and making sure I got my meds. I don't remember that week at all

Also I've had several (about 6) MRI even a bone scan. I have never had a spinal tap as far as I can remember, but just thinking of mrsD's suggestion of hereditary even though my father died young I do know he had a shorter left leg like me.

again thanks for your ideas!
