Re: acupuncture

acupuncture solved my difficulty of feeling as though my legs were bags of cement.

Re: do you wonder if you could be amongst the misdiagnosed?

i have a problem with the term, "autoimmune theory"

Re: PEOPLE OVER 70 WITH MS

ATTITUDE The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.
