For those 8 years that Rumsfled was in the WHite House I saw him standing up all the time at a standing desk and I used to joke around that old RUmmy probably has PN. Well, take a look at this article I just saw ( I just read the header )
Standing Is The New Sitting For Some Workers - wjz.com
Oct 19, 2010 ... (Former defense secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld works standing up. ... in the District, he began standing last year after a running injury made sitting painful. ...
He's not exactly the PN poster child I was thinking of. Did any of you ever notice that about him?

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
apparently, this disease hits people who have huge contributions to give to the world... at least, that's what I will tell myself to make myself feel better.
