My mom is having carpal tunnel surgery in the morning.  I knew she was
before now, but my knee surgery has had primary space in my brain.  Would
appreciate prayers for a successful operation and quick recovery.  Thanks to
all.

Hi all!  I've been lurking for a few weeks now and decided to take the
plunge!  I go by the name of Dreamweaver on the internet, or you can call me
JJ.  I was diagnosed with RA in 1982 when I was 23 years old.  I just turned

spider/varicose vein. Got a larger bead of very dark blood after the ...

Nann answered Joe's question with:

This is the last call. I will send out the list later this evening. I
just want to double check to make sure that I have everyone's name who
indicated they were interested in participating )and the few who we
convinced to participate).
