Kathleen(NY),

I must admit I didn't see what was terribly inspirational about my story

LOL, but who am I to complain. ROFL!!! Glad to know that another Kathleen

has had such good luck... I am Kathleen in Texas, so perhaps I should sign

off that way. I missed your story, Kathleen, and therefore the confusion.

I thought that was the flare-free one! Anyway, thanks for clearing

things up and have a very merry and blessed Christmas.

Woods/Lucy - My Story

> I think we need to clear up some confusion here. There are now more than

one Kathleen in the group and I usually sign my posts Kathleen (NY). I

failed to do that when I submitted my RP Story and shared that I will be 2

years flare free here in another few months. So, with that said, I want to

thank all of you who sent their hoorahs over my success of being 2 years

flare free. , you are more than welcome to use my story in your future

news letter and I'll update it from time to time. I had a small bout with

stress induced TMJ that I took Vioxx for, but it hasn't bothered me in a

while.

> After the holidays I will be concentrating on selling our house, finding a

new home and a new job. After living in New York for the last 5 years, my

husband accepted a very lucrative job that will be sending us back to

California, my home state. And since my son and his wife are blessing us

with another grandchild (Kaelub is only 1), I'll actually be able to help

with this one and spoil Kaelub on a weekly basis! My parents, two of our

children and my siblings are in California, so I am definitely looking

forward to the move. So when It gets closer to moving time, I'll be asking

for a list of Rhuemy's out there in Southern California to interview. I

sure am going to miss my PCP and Dr. T, they have both been wonderful,

especially my PCP, who diagnosed my RP with the first flare! I wish I could

pack him in my suitcase and take him to CA to share with everyone! I know

he'll help in the process of finding the right Dr's out there for me. He's

a great listener too and of course being extremely handsome h

> elps me to kinda " linger " in his office, just for fun! Yes, I'm a

horrible flirt, even at my age!

> For those birthdays I missed this week, Janet, and everyone else

..... Happy Belated Birthday. I hope they were enjoyable and memorable and

you shared them with those you love. To our Polish Pauper .... behave and

mend quickly and you could have shared the peanut butter recipes with the

rest of us. I made 48 dozen peanut butter cookies this season, half of

which went to both the boys in CA! For those of us who have loved ones in

the hospital, please know that you are all included on my prayer list.
