Hi Lori, yes, I know it can be bad. The worst thing about it for me was not knowing how bad it would be for me. After the first couple of years I started to feel sort of less worried. Then I read a book by the author Michael Crichton who also had MS. He said a doctor friend of his told him that as a rule of thumb it was generally considered that if you did not have any symptoms for 5 years you were pretty much out of the woods. I think it was right around 5 years that I was crossing a driveway at work and a car was coming and I started to try to jog and found my legs did not want to jog. I quickly figured out that this was an MS exacerbation, the first I'd had since '99. It lasted just a week or so. But overall I have had an easy go. Thanks a lot for you concern. Hope you are having a good Sunday. Anything new on the DRG front in terms of how it's performing? Hope it's good news or at least not bad news. 🤞 Best, Hank
