[Diabetes-talk] "Too Young for Insulin?"

[Everett Gavel]

Hi Bridgit, and all,

I'm not certain at all about the answer to your 
question, Bridgit -- but want to share something 
that happened to a friend regarding almost 
overnight loss of flexibility.

When you had all those problems kick in at once, 
did any of it involve Chemotherapy? Because I know 
1 friend who has (had?) Leukemia and since having 
the chemo, has lost almost all flexibility in his 
Achilles Tendons. He has trouble walking due to 
this. So perhaps that's one possibility for an 
answer, for whatever it's worth.


Strive On,
Everett
