Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Just as a cautionary note............ " Could " is the Key Word here. Children have had the Surgery and things haven't gone so well, just like Adults have had this Surgery and things have gone quite well. From the way I see it..........just because you were Diagnosed sooner, doesn't necessarily mean that you would have had Surgery sooner. If you are 50 now, and were diagnosed 30 Years ago with this, which would probably be unlikely, the chances of you having the Surgery back then would have been more unlikely. Even today, if you are Diagnosed with it, doesn't mean you are going to have Surgery for it, atleast in the near Future. Also, not everybody develops Symptoms for this, nor, if they do develop Symptoms, do they get them at the same time...............so you may not exactly have 50 Years of Nerve Damage..............maybe some of it is, if you were born with known Symptoms, but maybe the other parts of it are only 20, 10 or 5 Years old. Ok, maybe I'm just in an analyzing mood, please forgive me. I hope this makes sense.
