I am posting from Italy. I and Concetta my wife are sorry for what happened your legs and send you our best wishes for a rapir recovery. Now if you want smile a while I tell of mt falla. In the first years of my IBM, important symptoms began in 1995, i felt only four time and I was very blessed because my nature of mountaineer helped me very much. Wolging in the wood on the mountains or climbing a mountain you are never sure where you put yor foot. so that when my legs, especially the tight with quadriceps, ileo psoas and other muscle became very weak, I walked even if with the cane, as I was walking on the eggs. Each fall was to say the truth a bending on the knee, very sweet and whne people around me put me again on my feet I could go back to my home keeping the legs rigid as a robot.
In the first years the neurologist, besides 50 mg/die of prednisone gave me potassium, carnitene and many other thing, but after not many years the prednisone was reduced year by year until since 2005 I don't take it anymore anf the same other thing. My IBM had in this years her natural course in spite of the drugs. At tresent I am on the power chair and use a ceiling lifter to be put on the bed.

All the best an by your leave I share with you one of my little rules: "If the legs don't run, let fly the fantasy"
