Walking The Thin Man

In May 2005, I learned that I had developed amyloidosis, a rare protein folding disease. This is my story.

Edema Diet Working

In the last 24 hours, I've lost another four pounds, bringing me to only eight pounds of fluid. I can now kneel and dress myself. However, my mobility has only increased a little bit -- my legs still feel full. But I am pleased. Let's hope they continue this next week and release me from the clinic.

Anthony,

It's so great to hear that you are doing so well. As soon as the rest of the fluid is gone, you will be able to function a whole lot better. You will certainly be a great inspiration to others with this same disease. Everyone here is so proud of the way you have handled all of this. Keep up that positive attitude, and that terrific sense of humor you have.

Our love,
Aunt Edie & Uncle Rit
