[Guest guest]

Dear - how are you? I am so pleased thatyou

are trying to give up smoking. It is one of the best

things that you can do for yourself. How are the feet?

It was so nice to meet you, I feel as if we have known

each other for years! I think may be that is because

you are so good at posting and support everyone.

I am having a couple of not very good days, purely

because I have gone down to five mg of pred again. I

am trying to establish the lowest dose I can manage

on! I sympathise with Dawn, not that my docs are bad,

but I spent three days visiting the local hospital

here, which is a good hospital, but very beaurocratic,

trying to get lmg pred tablets, but I could only get

10 mg. I tried using logic, why can't I have lmgs,

its less than 10mg - it hasn't been ordered by the

doctor! Can't you ask the doctor? No. I gave up in the

end, I have a rheumy appt on 4th Nov, so I will talk

to him and hopefully get back on the straight and

narrow!

Heidi, you were asking about the weather - here in

Riyadh it is pretty well perfect. Around 80 degrees,

dry with a light breeze. Mind you that would be too

hot if I had to walk to the shops or anything, but

walking round the garden where there is plenty of

shade is lovely. We have all gone into semi

hibernation. Staying in our rooms, just emerging to

eat or take the dogs for a walk!

Please everybody, take care of yourselves, take

Heidi's advice and take your meds and vits on time.

Also wash your hands regularly - it is one of the best

defences against infection! Love Liz

Liz, it's so good to hear from you! Why are you having bad days, is the good old RP rearing it's ugly head? Hope not. Are you safe? With all the happenings over there, I worry about you. Kind of like when my brother was is Saudi in the Navy. He kept telling me that he could not be safer (he was on the battleship Wisconsin) he was directing the bombs out at Iraq. God, how I wish there would be peace in this world. He gave us such an incredibly beautiful world and look what we are doing to it! Well the weather in Chicago at the moment SUCKS! The temp is plummeting, it's raining buckets, and that miserable cold, damp weather makes everything act up! I think I'll head for your desert. Please take care, Love, Judy (PS, I want to go swimming!) /Dawn/Weather Dear - how are you? I am so pleased thatyouare trying to give up smoking.
