Lots of good luck NavyDad, you sure have waited long enough for it.  Thank goodness your doctor won't give up on you.  I pray this treatment slows down the involvement of CNS for you.  I know only to well what you are going through. 

GOOD LUCK and let us know when you get back.

Hi Navydad

I'm so pleased to hear you are being taken serously, and have some treatment planned. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that this is the beginning of your healing process.

I can't add any more than to echo everyone else's wishes that this is going to be the answer for you. 

Hoping for the best outcome,
