He said, "You are it." I have been on it (product of Chinese hamster ovaries) for for about 10 years. Off twice
1. three month fight with Medicare Part "D". 2. 72 hrs. in the local lockup for having MS (PI with no alcohol).

At my worst I could not see, talk, or walk. They have come a long way in the last 10 years. The MS diagnoses was much better than the 15 years of "it is all in your head." At this point I am not sure what is MS and what is age. I don't recommend MS but it could have been a lot worse. I am operating at 286 speed w/o multitasking, but still operating.
