Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 I"ll say a little prayer for you........................... ----- Original Message ----- From: Heer Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 11:18 PM Subject: Flare up I am having some flare or something going on with me and just wanted to let you guys know that I will be on here but probably not as much as normal till I am feeling better, I find that my flares last less and less time when I rest and take care of myself, do some juicing and stuff, so that is what I am doing. I hope you are all doing well, please if you would all say a prayer for me right now I could really use all the help I can get. Thanks you guys your all terrific keep it up. Love, I will rest till I feel better and I also have to say that I am still 95% better than I was with implants, even the worse flare up is nothing compared to how I felt when I was implanted. Thanks, Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
