    Update on my health

    Had some painful tests done. There is damage to the nerve roots on my C-7 and L-5 . Neurologist said my central nervous system is not working correctly more like MS but its not and that he has to figure out what is going on. But he explained that this is the reason I feel better in the higher altiatude and cooler weather. He confirmed that I have small fiber Polly neuropathy. Thats it for now no suggestions of treatment before I go he wants me to keep a journal while im gone to track my symptoms.

    Hopefully now that they know what's going on a treatment plan can be developed to help you.

    I googled that, Hlab27 Autoimmune. Not fun. Hope your trip takes you to heights, literally, so you feel better. What about the other kind of tripping high, might that help?

    I hope you feel better soon! Sounds really painful and frustrating.

    All good thoughts. I was thinking edibles as well. Glad it helps a bit.

    I'm not familiar with HLA B27- I'm sorry that's an issue for you. I hope your trip (by car or whatever ) bring you both physical and spiritual relief and renewal.
