Thank you for your emails and prayers!  I'm several hundred behind on
reading the messages on this newsgroup, and I probably won't get to them
all.  So, if I've missed any personal messages, please forgive me.
I've now had 4 rounds of chemo.  The movement in my left side has

So much is happening. I still have county fair stuff that needs to be
completed so I can put it away for another year. Then I forgot how to say no
and got myself involved with something at the Peanut Fest for the rescue
squad that is no small job! I'm back to working daily. Whatever ...

Thank you all for your wonderful support regarding the idea of moving closer
to my brother.  It came on so fast and we were both really excited, and then
we realized how much we needed to do, and how much money it would cost.  It
is a lot easier when you can just whip out the old ...

I had some blood tests today for Lupus and despite the nurse ignoring my
questions about what they where, I sneaked a look while she left the room
for a few mins <g> The ones listed where ANA (which I'd already heard about)
ANF and what looked like CLC.

Sharon,
How did your husbands consultation go today about WLS?
IF you have any questions you can email me at cindyl1957@yahoo.com

"Thanks J for the info!
I go in to start the process on Tuesday; it will take most of two

and wimper for 15-20 minutes.

Does anyone in our group live in the San Bernardino Area?
Any advice on Rheumies or PCP or Psych docs?  This may be the toughest part
of my (tenative) move.

My wife had a major SLE Lupus attack 11 years ago, her rheumatologist
suggests that she has been in remission for the last four years
however, perhaps psychologically, she avoids going in the sun
completely.  Only recently she started wearing solumbra to get around

I was driving in my car, on the way home from my housing authority meeting,
I had all these wild ideas in my head about where I was gonna go next, and
all these things that have to be done.

Here is what I have just today heard from Grace:
Hi Shelagh:
Thanks for emailing!
Well, I've completed four rounds of methotrexate chemo. I've regained

I had a look on the sites that J recommended and couldn't find any
references to ANF or CLC blood tests, so I'm wondering if perhaps I'm also
being tested for something similar.  I noticed that CBC is also recommended
but I was having one of those anyway because of my Pernious ...

tried to reply to your email to me but it says that it is unavailable. Is
everything ok?
Lots of love

Hiya Pigmet!  I am a bit worried about Mair.  I am picking up on a
lonliness vibe.  Sometimes I get a feeling about close friends.  Just
want to make sure you all are doing ok.
Hugs to the perfect 'prentice,
