@shashig Hey, thank you for your message. It's the sort of thing that helps when nothing else much does. Coincidentally, I had an appoinment with my primary physician today and we had a discussion about the shortcomings of the health care system to adequately deal with LC. He was generally frustrated with the inability to effectively treat my LC symptoms. As for the lack of governmental funding for research, this pandemic reminds me so much of the AIDS pandemic during the 1980s. Reagon was President and it took him six years to even say the word AIDS. If it wasn't for the radical protests of groups like Act Up, with people locking themselves to government and big pharma doors and other very assertive protests, there might never have been the development of the antiviral drugs that now effectively treat HIV patients. But I doubt our current Administration, with a racoon molester for the head of the HHS, will do anything to push research and development into LC. It is such a travesty what is happening to our federal resources across the board, except, of course, the military. It seems always to get funding above and beyond. Sorry for my rant! Best wishes to you. Be well...
