Hi there, yes I am allergic to so many drugs it's not even funny.

Especially narcotics - sucks big time - I CAN NOT take prednisone

(thank God) due to the fact that when I was on high doses of it, it

caused me to have Osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis) = (dead bone) in

my knee and now I have to just let the knee crumble before I can have

a total knee replacement - grrrr I am lucky because I have a high

tolerance for pain but ever since 1/2000 I have figured out that my

life is going to involve me being sick, sicker, etc - joy just what I

always wanted out of life...

Well, I hope you are doing well, I am going to try to catch up on

emails hopefully I can.

Take care sweetie and talk with you soon.

Hugs

Deanna
