Hello Ladies..

I've been catching up on some of the posts as I took it out of daily

email mode because I was worrying myself too much the other way.

Congratulations to on her Aug 15th surgery!!! I want to

thank the list for their sharing of information. I contacted a

lovely local doctor that was on this list's list. I am all set to

explant on Sept. 1, 2003. I am excited and nervous. I will be doing

it in the Dr's office and without anesthesia. I will let you know

how it goes.

OH BTW, I finally made it to a Rheumatologist after a long problem

with insurance, he disregarded the suspicion of lupus and diagnosed

me with arthritis and fibromyalgia. I know I am in good company. He

suspects maybe rhematoid, because my mom has that, but for now is

calling it osteo. we'll see.

Hugss to a bunch of deserving women.
