glad to hear it wasn't "C"! Sugar developed severe back end weakness, seeming overnight at almost 12. She'd had arthritis for a few years, too. It was a spinal problem, not LS, but the symptoms were similar. She had a course of pred, and we upped, then later changed, her pain meds. She got better, then had a relapse, same treatment. What ultimately helped get her back to normal was acupuncture. I can't recommend it enough! I used at different Dr that Spencer's mom, I can give you her number if you need it (she's at 27th Ave & Glendale) Smiley
