This is a long & I've never posted here before & hope it's ok to do so.
I would appreciate any & all responses.  I'm a 62 female, rather active,

I've been up most of the night having on & off HORRIBLE PAINFUL CRAMPS

I have to tell you guys that I am seriously sinking here.  Last
Thursday my son's horrifying wife (the one who chooses spanking as a
discipline for a two year old) who is an MSW, called kaiser and told
them that Megan was going to kill herself.  Megan has said often

OK, most of you know that I live in a high rise building that is 80%

rituximab(Rituxan).  I am on my second cycle for RA, and while it

I just spent five days in the hospital, getting home night before last

Called the main secretary of state office today to ask them about a
letter and form that they had sent me.   Form was about 6-8 pages long

little detail of my health history.  

Mary and I will be going away to the Colorado River for 3 days.  Probably
our last trip in that direction until the area cools off in the autumn.
In the meantime, Mary is taking a one-week trip mid-June for a wedding in
Mexico, and I hope to get in at least one more travel before ...
