About Me
I was diagnosed by Doctor Lieberman in Miami after a head trauma accident in early 2000. I am currently being treated at Duke in North Carolina and hopefully going to be enrolled in the Ceregene 120 program next year (depending on the results of this year's study). The last 8 years have been a trial and recently I feel as though I am a bit lost. My once close family is drifting. I hope I have not bored you.
