MY heart goes out to you. My cousin has suffered with this wretched disease for ten years. At first they thought it was a virus picked up when he travelled abroad. Funny,it is connected with connective tissue diseases. My cousin was put on steroids and was in a wheelchair for two years. He is now walking normal and leads a normal life. But he is now diabetic with heart problems probably caused from steroid use.

Wonder if there is a link here. Thanks for sharing.
