Thanks for the reply, one of the Drs said to go to a research and teaching Hospital like Mayo and that's what I am doing and should have done long ago, what I wrote was pretty long, what happened to me 17 years ago was I went for a routine colonoscopy when I lived in Las Vegas..the antithesist that put me under used the needle and medicine on someone else first, then re-used the dirty needle on me! I got Hepatitis C and nearly died...to make a long story short..I have never been the same, that Dr killed 4 others and I am lucky to be alive! Thanks again for the reply and I'm going to hope Mayo finds what's wrong...what you said about you Cousin gave me hope! At 69, I am not ready to die! Thanks again! JS London..........

Hi @jimlondon1 I’m just going to pop into the conversation you’re having with @jenniferhunter to give you the contact information for Mayo Clinic. It looks like you’re in The Villages so your nearest clinic would be in Jacksonville.

Here’s the link to get you started with contacting the clinic. Let the coordinator on the phone know that you’re interested in Jacksonville. They’ll ask some questions and then set appointment process in motion. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Jacksonville, Florida
904-953-0853
8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Eastern time, Monday through Friday

Seventeen years is a long time to be suffering. I’m 69 too and I agree, you are not ready to die!! ☺️ Me either, I’ll go out fighting tooth and claw.
Jennifer gave you good suggestions about seeking neurological help for your legs. I hope you can find some answers! You mentioned that you’ve not been the same since having Hepatitis C. Wow, that’s an incredible story about how you contacted the disease! Did you receive treatment or compensation from the hospital for that gross negligence?
Here are a couple of links to the Hep C discussions in the forum and the informative site from Mayo Clinic.

I’m looking into taking treatment for the 3rd time with Hepatitis C

After Hep C treatment. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/people-cured-from-hep-c-harvoni/

What treatments have you taken for Hep C? Have you seen a neurologist for you legs?
