Re: Newcomer to this wonderful group

[Guest guest]

Adele,

We have a local support group in the Washington/Baltimore area. Do you

live nearer to Baltimore or Washington? We will be meeting on March

17th near The Washington Beltway (I-495) where it crosses the Potomac

River on the west side of Washington (Cabin Bridge). If you are

interested, I will send you directions.

Take care, Bill Werre

Adele,

Welcome to our group. There are many here that know so much. The time

before last I went to the doctor and when he asked me my symptoms I

could only name 3 of them. I had forgot my symptoms list. Needless to

say I didn't forget it the next time. I had a list of 34 symptoms.

Not remembering all of them I believe would be understandable but to

only remember 3 well something is wrong with that. hehe I am glad

that your husband Hank has you.

Again welcome and God Bless,

Belinda
