John, thank you! This is wonderful. While I'm frustrated by some of our medical challenges and "roadblocks," having a resource like this at our fingertips is astounding.
Yes, I was diagnosed with neuropathy. I have a arthritis in multiple joints, facing a third replacement surgery at the end of the month. So there is so much at work here - our vulnerable bodies. I am just learning to admit "I'm old" and that I have to expect these things to come along. Taking things day by day in a new way is a fact of life for people my age. One thing I found out about recently, is a genomic research project in which t I've been able to participate. It's a long term research project that will benefit scientists around the world and future generation. My five siblings and I now share such similar and yet different complaints and health concerns that it seems to me our genomes hold so many of the answers. The project, which is sponsored by the NIH but conducted in regions around the USA is described at the website AllofUs.com. They are especially looking for participants in our senior years to fill out that end of the Bell Curve. I encourage anyone who's interested to take a look and consider participating in the program.
