                        i have primary systematic amyloidosis involving soft, connective tissue, nerve system and my bladder no longer contracts.  as of yet, my heart, kidneys and liver do not seem to be affected.  i have had 2 corpal tunnels on left wrist and three on right,  i have had all fingers and thumbs released because of triggers. orthscop on both knees, 3 cervical lamnectimes, transfer of finger tendons to replace dead thumb muscles and ulnar nerve transfer.  i also had to have c-sections because i would not dialate.  i also have severe spinal stenosis in lower back and moderate stenosis at cervical level.  i am about to have surgery on my left shoulder because of a massive rotator cuff tear, several other tears and several other things.  my mri also showed that i have very little of my bicep muscle left in my left arm. i did not physically injure myself. this disease can be very cruel in many different ways.  i also have alot of thickening in the bottom of my feet.  as of yet, my research has not revealed another case like mine.  please let me know
