So I am back on Enbrel,which worked a little bit. My rheumy wants to put me

on Actemra,which the FDA has not approved yet in the USA. I will have to go

on one of the IV osteoporosis meds,because of my thrashed esophagus. I am

thankful for all the family and friends who helped me limp through this whole

scary business. I am thankful that I have this group to help me,inform me,or

just listen to me when I am troubled. I am sending all the positive vibes I

have, to all of you. Merry Christmas,Happy Hannakuh,happy holidays to all of

you,and your families.

Sorry this is so long!

Love,

Nissa
