IF YOU ARE WAITING 26 WEEKS FOR AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DOCTOR, YOU NEED TO FIND ANOTHER ONE.

I HAVE BOTH MOTOR AND NERVE NEUROPATHY AND ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO CURE, IT IS SLOW TO PROGRESS.

EXERCISE AND HE RIGHT VITAMINS HELP.

BY THE WAY I AM NOT A DIABETIC BUT, HAVE SPINAL STENOSIS WHICH I HEARD COULD CAUSE IT ALONG WITH KNEE REPLACEMENT ON BOTH KNEES 4 YEARS APART AND THE DOC SAID HE HEARD THAT A LOT AFTER TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT.

IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE MS TO ME BUT, I AM NOT A DOCTOR.

GOOD LUCK,

MISSY
