I appreciate everyone sharing their wisdom!

I take the same approach as some above, I try to take care of myself but, I ignore a lot of things when I'm working on stuff.

I've had type 1 diabetes for almost 30 years now and MS for 12-13. I'm thankful I don't have the same issues as many with MS. Most don't know I have any health issues unless I tell them; I can still run circles around some normal folk.

I know I most likely will not die an old man but, want to enjoy what I like to do as long as I can.

The RA comments may be something to look into. For my MS, I was on a drug that was really intended for RA but, I've been off of it for 2 years now. Maybe RA is a concern and the medication was just masking larger problems.

My body appears to like collecting auto immune diseases so; wouldn't shock me.
