Guest guest Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 , I only stated the Drs' prognosis because it's what they see and what they know. But MY prognosis is based on what I believe. I'm blessed in so many ways, and I see all that so clearly now. I have mostly good days until a couple of bad ones manage to slip in. Then I, too, lounge and watch so much CNN, MSNBC, CSPAN, etc., that I may apply for the RP club's war correspondent! Did I read that you've had RP for 35 years? That fact and your attitude is astounding. Do you have any other autoimmune diseases? I'm so glad I found this group. Hope I don't offend anyone with all the questions, but this keyboard just keeps pounding them out! I swear it's not me. re: A Big Thank You > Bonita -- I'm so glad that what I said made you feel better. It > sounds as though Gabby, if he is able to go to college, may have a > mild case.
