Hi Trish,

I am so very grateful for your response. I just got a final diagnosis last Friday (Rheumatoid Vasculitis) after six months of awful pain, 11 doctors and uncounted tests and procedures. I only have less than a month and a half before our move to TV and I have barely begun on treatment. Seems like what I have is unusual (to say the least!) But I have come too far and gone through so much. I hate to have to start all over with some dufus. And, believe me, I have seen quite a few!

I will definitely give him a call tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help. If you haven't gone through this, you have no idea what pain can be. It eats away at your soul.

I do hope your husband is doing well. My idea of heaven will be to grab a couple of noodles and floating in the pools with no pain anywhere.

BTW we're on Forsyth, very close to Mulberry Recreation Center. Are you anywhere close?

Again, I am so grateful for your helpl!

Lois Mapes
