I agree with you there, believe me I tried, problem was that I had none of the normal symptoms such as the pain and tingleing in your back,arm and hands. The neurologists kept telling me they were just bad migrains and would really not listen to me when I told them it was physical not phychological, kept telling me they were stress related. I like my life at the moment, I have no stress!!

Finally got tired of the doctors here and got ahold of the woman that grew up next to me and was my babysitter, her husband just happens to be one of the foremost spinal reconstruction surgeons in the country, he talked to me for ten minutes on the phone then called my nuerologist got them to give me the MRI I had been asking for, took one look at it and said,"get down here (he is 5 hours away in maryland), get down here RIGHT now."
Went down a few days later had the surgery, all the pain is now gone and I get to play golf this week for the first time this year.

He told me another month or two and I may not be walking anymore.

Just goes to prove "its not what you know, it's who you know."


I will still take any amount of engine trouble over having my neck open with my spinal chord, trachea, jugular veins and whatever else exposed to the elements......maybe that is just me.
