new biologic

[Guest guest]

hi, all! read in the USA TODAY, dated yesterday = Thursday 6/17,

under the Health Dept. heading = new drug written up in the New

England Journal of Medicine. Study was done in London, England. The

drug is Lipitor, made by Pfizer, and used to lower cholesterol. I

emailed the story to the gentle hugs! Marcia

Jane,

Will keep you in my prayers. I hope that you get approval soon for

the Enbrel, and you can start feeling better soon.

Hugs, Tawny
