Has anyone heard from Mair? I knew she was sick. I got an email from her the
7th. I'm concerned. Not like her to be so quiet.
Praying that she is ok and healing.
Just concerned about our friend,

Maggie and Bev thanks for your words.... frankly I am so tired of
crying..... just tired.... tired of pain and tired of the b.s. and I know
that when my husband says he understands - he means well, but he won't get
it and I don't wish this on anybody... so I just bottle it up! Why ...

or is it commitments...
whatever.
i've promised too many projects to too many people and am making good
on none.

Does any one here have a Skin rash from sun without the butterfly look
on face.
Do these symptoms sound like lupus ...
Photosensitivity -  Mainly on arms and face but not a distinct

Well, I think maybe my bio final sent me into a flare.  I just don't
feel good at all, being out of it, tired, sick to my stomach, aches
*everywhere*, etc.  I also have a swollen thumb, which I will find out
the reason for tomorrow hopefully, at my rd appt.  I think it might be a ...

I won't say much today as I'm in such a crummy mood and I don't want to
"inflict myself" on any of you.
What I will do is e-mail folks individually in a "newsletter-type" thing
more often. That way it won't end up in Google. To be honest with you all,

Some of us have been on the group for quite a while.  Some of us are just
newcomers.  Holidays can be emotionally hard if you are sick and alone.
Last year I found myself giving and receiving support from others during the
holidays.

Goodness, I hope you're okay.  These blasted colds & then that flu.  We
haven't heard hyde nor hair of you!  
Umm...I really don't mean to make things rhyme as often as I do.  It
just happens.  

Michael,
I am so sorry to hear that the depression is getting the best of you
right now.  I have gone through treatments and counseling for it, and
I know how devastating it can be.

Our Mair is so sick!  She has a viral infection & (can I say it, Pigmet?
K!) is coughing up something that belongs on an X-Files episode.
She is miserable & really could use your prayers & well wishes & good
vibes & thoughts (& Mulder, if you can find him.)  She went to the doc

Anyone here with vasculitis? I saw some pictures of vasculitis,
which looked like what I have, so that's why I'm curious.
I have petechiae on the lower legs and/or in the mouth on and off since last
year. The ones in my mouth sometimes ulcerate or turn into blood blisters.

Hello to all of the new people here. I am sorry that I haven't greeted you
sooner. Tanya, thank you for posting the roll call. I hope we will see more
of you, when you have time to drop by. Welcome also to Lee F, Kite, and
Erina. I wonder who I have missed. I am very far behind on ...

I know this is not in our topic but I was wondering if anyone had done the
12-week program "The Artist's Way". My husband brought it to me from a used
bookstore. I read part of it and was so excited that I went out and got the
companion books. I am hoping someone here has heard of ...

To help de-escalate the racial tensions raised once again by a recent
police incident in Cincinnati, residents were encouraged to stop
whatever they were doing at 2 p.m. on January 5 and extend a greeting
of peace to whomever they encountered. Here is one person's story.
