Hi Stu! Welcome to the site. Jump in anywhere!
Give us some more info on yourself: Do you have SB or have relatives/friends with SB? What's your lesion/symptoms?

I have spina-bifida and hydrocephalus myself. With it I lost feeling in my right leg, left one has senssation, but limited, and very weak movement. Recently I had my leg amputated due to the dreaded pressure sores getting infected. It had gone on for years, and wasn;'t getting any better, so I decided I was better off without it.
