More About seajay

 Years later I had two separate bouts of what was at the time diagnosed as shingles [ non eruptus].  Cyrrently I'm led to believe that these shingles might be another manifestation of the MS.  Dianosed as borderline Type two diabetic.  Borderline is key because MS elevates ones blood sugar numbers [ I understand] So I assume that has gone away.  Lifting/carrying heavy loads [ like cement blocks] can make  legs "worse", as does sitting with anything against my thighs.  Though I'm not sure how it fits in, I also broke my back a number of years before Acoustic Neuroma ....crushed a few vertabrae. ....not sur how a lot of that correlates ...but seems to me it should.
