Rain?? Please take some of ours. Here in Wisconsin we are on an almost constant flood watch. I am sure there are other parts of the US that are also. Along the Mississippi River is the worst. However in Wisconsin the Rock River is pretty bad also. I wish there was a way I could share it. Got a big bucket??

Have a great day with no pain or worries.

....checking in ....I know i don't post much, but have been reading the dailyposts...even having been in remission (I think) for a time, I stillhave measurable memory problems so find it difficult keeping track ofwho's who - all my best thoughts for all those battling their manybattles. I, too , had wondered what had been keeping Becky fromjoining us - I hope she is doing well.I have juts been to my Nephrologist (kidney Dr - a guy who tells youto pee in a cup, just to tell me I still add too much salt to myfood). I had been Dxd with NeuroSarcoid in Dec 1995, treated withPred, and Cyclosporine. As the cyclosporine is known to be toxic rothe kidneys, I was referred to a Nephrologist to monitor renalfunction. I have been in remmission since 1999, but still battle withvarious 'brain blips' - memory, speech-blanks (aphasia), slighttremors, and my eyes (both) still have some retinal scarring. If onlyI could blame it all on middle age, but .....Here in southern Ontario, we have been enjoying some warmer weather,but not nearly enough rain. I will be taking my yearly trip to visit asister of mine in Yarmouth, Maine in June ( anyone in this group fromYarmouth, or freepoert?), so hopefully will have some nice weather. Mikeps. I had stepped into the chat around 16:00 on Sunday - noone elsewas there - maybe next weekpps. Is it the N-Sarc or middle age to blmae for my crappy spellnig ?

Welcome to the group. This is a wonderful group and I hope you will feel at ease here. We can gripe or praise each other and hopefully no hard feelings. There is a wonderful amount of information from our moderators and the rest of the group.

I am sorry for the late welcome but we all go oooops now and then.

Again welcome and I hope to hear lots from you.

Jackie from Wisconsin.
