Hi Orch, it may be that Sandy is taking something besides prednisone, her MS is further advanced than Pam's but I'd have to say that Sandy has been doing pretty good for the last 10 years or so, she was diagnosed in the late 1980s, she was sitting at her desk and went blind in one eye, totally without warning and she was rushed to Houston and until the late 90s, she had an awful time with it! I came across a study, if memory serves me right, it was done by Princeton, anyway some grad students got the names of 1,000 people who'd had Mononucleosis when they were young, all of them were in their teens when they had it and this was 20 years later, those were the parameters the students chose, anyway, they asked them hundreds of questions and the results showed that a very high percentage of them had developed MS within the 20 years since they'd had Mono, I just thought that might be of interest to you....tomorrow is the big day!!
