I guess I don't fit the normal profile, I'm a 77 year old male living in Florida and I've had OT for about 22 years. As you are aware it is a very difficult condition to diagnose and difficult, at best to treat. I have been dealing with this a long time and it is a progressive. I had never heard of it until I was diagnosed and it's difficult to accept when you have been in close to perfect health your entire life. As far as I'm aware there is no treatment that really works and I have tried about everything. It's even difficult to walk now and all I can suggest is try to keep a positive attitude. If you would like to discuss this more feel free to reach out and we can e-mail or phone
