I still keep in touch with several. I don't know that they are better but they've moved on from their diagnosis and trying to live as full of life as possible.
Personally, I feel you guys are doing a great job helping newly diagnosed and I don't have much to add.....so I don't comment. If I do have something to add, I do but agree I only check in a few times a month.
Keep holding down the fort!
I got put on Imuran, the generic brand that starts with an "A" aza...something or other. I stick with it for a month and found improvements. :) My hands still bother me.i have a ganglion cyst that needs to be drained, other than that all is good
Good to see you again. Glad you're doing well.
