Good morning, John. Thank you so much for replying to my concerns re public vs. private. I do try to ensure postings might be useful to others, and try to tease out too much personal "chaff" so I thank you for your approval. Do feel free to reign me back if I make a mistake!

Coincidentally, I had read (and printed) the article about "puzzling diagnosis" and even found another one along the way. I´m signed up on the Brain and Nervous System Group for NPH, and also for other relevant groups about Arachnoiditis, Pain Management, the Spine, etc. I learn so much from them ALL. The weekly review that comes out as a Digest is an amazingly easy way to keep up to date....I can´t begin to say how much I "love" Connect....forgive the number of raves, though.....am just so grateful to Mayo and all the Moderators and Mentor Volunteers out there monitoring and giving suggestions...like YOU, right now! Will be headed to Mayo JAX mid August, so appreciate all the reading resources. Found articles and research done by the MD who will evaluate my case, so feel as if I already know him a little.

Thank you again, and have a great week to all, Joan
