About Me
Over the course of several years, from approx. 1986 unward, I experienced numbness in toes. I had no insurance and couldn't afford a doctor (and was REALLY in denial about anything more than the flu...). I was totally taken out by my bod in early 1993 forward... I NEVER would have admitted any problem but the right face numbness forced me to see a doc...she sent me ot a nuero for 2 years in a row...they saw shadows, etc. and told me they would know for sure if I wanted to travel from Charlotte to Atlanta. NO WAY was that happeing! Nothing else happened for years until I wakenend on a Monday
