The above posts confirm that most worries pale into insignificance when problems with health arise. When young we never have to give a thought to this and with the arrogance of youth think we are immortal. It's only when our health problems accumulate that we understand how important good health really is.

A couple inspirational stories to read. My story is way too long to post on this thread, so I will get it written and post a link to my webspace. Only a few people know what I have gone through medically, but hopefully it will inspire someone in poor health.
