Curious why so many embrace the DM DNA test? - Page 8

Why are you missing the biggest points, Marjorie. Just let it go. It is over. Put to bed. Stick a fork in it. You don't get it, unable to, is more than likely  the point, a manifestation of what ails you.

Damn, it is like throwing the egg the golden goose laid, straight into the ocean!

How long has Missy T been suffering? Last time I knew things sounded dire. Let's see a picture of the happy wheelchair bound girl, poster child of what can be accomplished, because you care just that much more than.... well, I guess, ME?
 
***************************Just SAW YOUR EDIT,with the pictures.  

However, none of the wheelchair. When did your dog start toe dragging? I don't know that.

Beetree, Marjorie and I became acquainted about 1.5 years ago. We do see eye to eye on this research. It is my humble opinion they "threw out the baby with the bath" when they took away Dr. Clemmoms research. At least he had a feeding protocol, supplement, protocol and even a medication protocol. And it worked in delaying the progress of about half of the dogs that used it. My dog never got that as his funds were soon taken away when my dog became symptomatic. Dr. Coates to this date, 4 years later has ONLY isolated a gene. A gene she is now admitting in the Swiss Moutain Bernese dog is NOT the only gene. And their club is funding more research to isolate yet another gene. I truly believe the same will occur with GSD's. But it sure should matter how Majorie and I know each other. I signed up on her group as she was the only one at that tome offering support for DM. She has done more foot work and research than most. Being critical is NOT helping our beloved sick dogs at all. It us however a good way to undermine it. Maybe that is your agenda. Undermining other potential research to actually help DM dogs. That's as sad as undermining research for Autism in children. Which BTW, 1 out of 88 children are now diagnosed with. And not a single clue what causes it or why the huge spike. Children are our future. I have no hope for this research of Dr. Coates. It's all about the money and not the truth, IMO. Someday 15-20 years from now... Oh well...I must be rotten egg, at least that seems to be your verdict of me. I live in Texas! Marjorie lives... Far away from me. Our connection is GSDM and our sick dogs. And our total love and devotion to them. Currently in my house I have 3 dogs. ALL have had the test. My sick, DM symptomatic GSD is "carrier" My 9 year old Pembroke welsh corgi is "at risk" I pray daily My 10 month old corgi is "clear". So don't say I am not testing or haven't. Quit be judge and jury. You seem to have huge chip on your shoulder. Smells like someone that has dipped deep in their pockets for funding of this. Otherwise why the very hateful tone? It doesn't help me, you and certainly not our beloved dogs. I want to learn to live in the moment like my dogs does. Life is too short not to be thankful for each day with our loved ones and our blessings. Many blessings Gwen

She has developed a pressure sore from her harness a few days ago. I am treating it and if I cannot get it healed up this week, I will not have her suffer. She doesnt react to it unless I am directly cleaning it, so I dont know if she feels it or just hates being positioned upside down in a very vulnerable position.

You want cart pictures? Here ya go...  dont know how I got them to show up last time- this time the pics wont imbed

You want to question my integrity? Why wasn't the above admitted at the start of this post? Asking common sense questions in a straightforward manner shouldn't be a problem for most people. Why is it a problem with you two?

The fact you want to drag comments I made from unrelated posts to this, well, reeks, too. 

Want, really doesn't cover it, Marjorie. How long is more like it. 

When did it start Marjorie?

--- > However, none of the wheelchair. 

You didnt notice she was in her wheelchair in the first two large photos I posted of her on her 11th birthday? What did you think that metal contraption was???? She is in an Eddie's Wheels Cart which has been a God send for her.

Time lag, please forgive me. When did the first signs start? The toe dragging?
