I must admit that this has been one of the most informative
conferences I have brought onto this machine! My fiancee is
actively trying to learn this computerized world of mine. She has a
disease called "Familia Spastic Paraplegia" (don't quote me on the
spelling). What I know of it, the disease is reasonably rare,
hereditary, and primarily affects women. Most of her family has
been afflicted with it. The disease eventually causes a loss of
speech and use of the lower extremities.

I am VERY interested in learning more about the condition, but
about all I get from the "SPECIALISTS'" is what I typed above. If
anyone out there knows more about it...ie., CAUSE and STUDIES, I
would appreciate hearing from you. BTW, her name is Schelia
Segroves (Lahti), and you will be hearing from her as she gets her
nerve up!! My compliments to all!
		Blessings for the New Decade...
