Brain was damaged-seizures some 35 years.Vegetative state 15 years. Bell's Palsey (on list of rare diseases). Arthritis & rheumatism.Unable to do much of anything. Growing weak & trying to hang in there.Last year entire bottom of left foot rotted off down to the muscle.Diabetes Mellitis diagnosis. God Bless all Agent Orange Victems. The mental & physical pain of this disease is well known to those who suffer it. Take quite a few medications.Wanted to say something in case i don't make it.
