Well I guess that will shut me up, I only pick on mental freaks, you have placed yourself in a dual role category now.

I have lowered my guess as to your MA again.

issme,

Nope, just elephantitus of the lower extremities...

I'm not a doctor, but I would get that looked at if I were you - there are treatments:

thehub.com.au
There are a number of treatments available for these forms of filariasis, although it is best to catch it before elephantiasis sets in. New therapies (eg. drug therapy combined with massage and physiotherapy) has been recently shown to be capable of reversing all but the most severe cases of elephantiasis.

The key phrase here is "it is best to catch it before elephantiasis sets in" Do you have any idea of what elephantiasis can do to you? Here's what it can do to your legs (Warning: this medical photo is not for the faint of heart): medic.mie-u.ac.jp You don't want to know what it can do to the other lower extremities.

Regards,
John Sladek

Surely you mean "elephantiasis". I take it you refer to that which you're sadly forced to cart about in a wheelbarrow?

The "pachyderm features" you mentioned in an earlier post?

Hung way too low...
