When someone ask Mike how long we have been married..His Reply is " I got
life without paroll"

Okay, here I go:  I am down to 10mg pred, which was my doctors goal for me.
It took me quite a while to get here!  I alternated between 12.5 and 10mg
for two weeks, and now have been at 10 every day for about 4 days.  My
"Achilles' heel" seems to be deep pain in the back of my ...

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
I hope you all are having a day full of relaxation and contentment.  I am
having a good time, and my symptoms have abated.  Pigmet went out treasure
hunting with all his new equipment, and a friend in tow.  I miss him the

or whatever.  Said something was mentioned about lupus actually being lyme
disease (I know this has been a theory out there for a while).  He said they

Hi All --

Fibromylagia type pain? I was diagnosed with a Chiari malformation a few
years ago before all the joint pain and other problems began -- however, I

Well, I did it.  I woke up with a mouth full of assertive words &
various phrases & called the pharmacy first to get prices & then the

I did a dumb dumb thing today.  I did not take my meds until late afternoon
and I overdid things today.  Consequently I am in awful pain and need to
whine.....  cheese please?  Shame of me.  Why don't I get with the program?
I caused my own misery this time.  :>(

For those of you who are Pigmet's friends, today is his birthday.  This is
also our Holy Day, and I don't think that's a coincidence.  Pigmet gets
"reborn" every year, and so he always remains a child.  But he keeps his
