Rozzy,
Believe me I'm sorry if you believe I was not sensetive. I'm not medicly qualified, but I had sufferefd from SBO and was cured by the late Dr Franz Wulffaert, he advised me very well before operation about the operation and about spina bifida occulta. Dr Wulffaert over 30 years successfuly had performed such operation, even his son had suffered from SBO and was operated by his father.
Over 40 years my brother who suffers from SBO, I was not able to find doctor in Australia, USA, UK with the knowledge how to treat NERVES ROOTS SWELLING, DISC PROTRUSION AND THE BLOCKAGE OF SPINAL CORD FLUID CAUSE BY SBO[ TUMOUR]

I'm not medicly qualified but in 40 years I have a lot research about the complications and symptoms cause by SBO.
I can tell you I have the book " Etudes sur le spina bifida" published in Paris 1937 this book is unknown to the medical profession of today. If you have time visit my previous website www.aspire.com.au/sbos and also now my website www.bifidaocculta.com.
I'm sorry if you believe I was not sensative about your crippling conditions.
I understand the pain and suffering cause by SBO.
