A quick note

[Guest guest]

Tess--I think I need Remicade too but my rheumie is slow to try it because of

the cost and he doesn't think my HMO will cover it--I'm not sure. I was

taking sulfasalazine but after a couple of years wasn't working too well, and

I had really bad anemia which the dr. thought was related to the drug. So

started metho. After about 6 months now, I'm entirely off sulfa; I'm only on

metho. It worked great at first and I even thought I might get a remission,

along with the Paleo diet I'd started, but that only lasted a little while.

I'll see the dr. in April and try to get some more answers about Remicade.

This week I learned I should be getting a determination on my soc security

disability application. The case worker called me and asked a few questions.

He sounded upbeat and friendly, so I sure hope I'll get the disability pay!

Elaine--Good for you! No more cataracts. Both of mine have been removed now

too, and it's great. In most ways my vision has really improved but

interestingly, my eyes don't adjust very well anymore, like from more light

to less light, distance vision to nearer vision, etc. Still, it's a huge

improvement!

Best to all,

lie

Hi Stacey:

So glad that things are turning out well. That is so

neat that Wyatt got such special treatment from the

police officer - he is a very brave little boy and

needs to hear that we are all very proud of his being

strong enough to tell you what was happening. Hope

that storms aren't too severe in your area - we could

use a bit of rain here in CA - send it our way okay?

Kathe in CA
