Dennis,

Let me try that again. The first post was an oops, sorry. I hit a

wrong key or something. There is nothing wrong with LUCK! I am

glad you have some of the good kind. I think vitamin C is an

excellent idea. I will have to try that. I have heard good things

about it for prevention of colds, etc. Always good to see your

posts.

colds or other viruses for a long time. Before we (Betty and I) quit

smoking, I would get a bad summer cold almost every August or so.

Now, the only thing I suffer is from the meds I take for RA. We've

started taking vitaminsB,C,E and it seems to help both of us. Betty

has worked in child care for a long time and has caught a few

viruses but so far, I've avoided them. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I've been lurking for a while. The one we haven't heard from lately is Ken.

HEY, KEN! Are you okay?

I've seen a commercial on Enbrel on TV this evening and it made me realize being

prone to cath every disease than come our way is dose related.

The medication we are taking supresses our immunity, consequently, when we

only take a small dose, we still have some immunity to fight off germs, viruses,

bacteria and so on, but when we take massive doses, our immunity is compromised

and we catch everything under the sun.
