Marilyn,

Boy you got that right about the posts I have only

been away for about 9 hours and there was 80 more

posts. Gosh you all have been busy! ) Yes I think

I flare in the lower back. I also flare in the ribs.

I guess you can flare anywhere there is cartilege.

Mine usually never flares in the same place each time

kind of goes back and forth to where ever it decides

it wants to be a pain! I just love this RP! (NOT!!)

Oh well at least it doesn't hurt all the time that is

the main thing. You just have to take it a day at a

time.

Lots of Love

Glenda
