New overview on RP for your physicians

[Guest guest]

I have met a man in the Aortic Valve replacement group and have found out his

wife imaintains the healthlibrary at Stanford. Small world huh? Her name is

n Cortesi. She sent me some sites on RP most of which I had already but

I will post them again. Here is part of the post:

<You probably know about these already, but are a couple of web pages about

your disease, which you could use to inform friends and family.

An authoritative overview has just been published:

Relapsing polychondritis: A clinicla review.

Semin Arthritis Rheum.2002 Jun;31 (6):384-395.

Give this reference to your primary care physician.

If anyone can get their hands on this is would be wonderful. If your dr

likes you, beg to see it. LOL

Just thought I'd pass it along.
