Good news to report !!! Yipee!!!

[Guest guest]

Dear Group, I have great news to report re myself, just came back

from my new rheumy & I do not have scleroderma!! I do have Raynauds

syndrome, and the other features I have can be attributed to my other

auto-immune disease in the spine, DISH!!! So my chronic pancreatitis

may be from viral, parasites, EBV virus, shigella or an allergy to

sulfonimides, or I may never know, but it is not, repeat not, from

Scleroderma ( which my Mother's father died of)......so we are

celebrating tonite & the doc wants to put me in a new drug study for

fibromyalgia.....why not? although, I'll check with my G.I. first.

Anybody else in this group have fibromyalgia or EBV????

This is a big relief & load off my mind, just had to share.....love

(the woman in ton that still dresses like an Eskimo)...

That is really good news , I am so pleased for you.

Scleroderma is a far cry from the other conditions and you have

every reason to celebrate. I was positive for EBV but it never

really made a difference. I have no sypmtoms whatsoever and was

told I probably had it when I was a girl. Nothing to worry about

was what I was told.

Things really are looking up for you, and its about time. now maybe

you will be able to join Heidi and I for lunch the next time. I

will look forward to it.

Warmly,

,

congratulations on your good news. I can understand what a huge

relief that is to you, even though they still don't know the reason

for your CP...celebrate big, and now you can walk much lighter,

knowing that weight has been lifted.

of your mind! Celebrate!
