Hi Karon,

RP (Relapsing Polychondritis) is a rare autoimmune disease which

attacks all the cartilage and collagen II in the body. There are some

good articles on this disease on the internet. It's progressive and

there is no cure. Because I have both CMT and RP, I use a wheelchair

to do shopping or any activity requiring me to walk long distances.

This allows me to remain mobile at home and helps conserve my joints.

Hope this helps.

Take Care,

Midge
