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?

Thanks for all that info to get me started! It is only a 2 hours dive from here and will make the calls on Monday. Of course I hired a Lawyer and sued for Medical Malpractice, I got 2 and a half Million Dollars for my pain and suffering, but what good s Is that......all the money in the World means nothing to me...I would give my right arm and sleep on the street, what am I going to do with 2.5 Million Dollars if I can't enjoy it? I am only 69 and do not have any other ailments except I can't walk...I am sure Mayo will find it..I have a lot to live for...I got rid of the Hep C, the Medicine cost me 90k, but it was sure worth it...all the nurses at the NRI place said they can't believe I was 69, they thought I was 39! I may sound like Jack Benny but I got a lot going for me.....thanks again for all. the info, I am going to call on Monday!! Thanks! Jimmy London
