Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Dale, I just joined the group yesterday and am getting over a very small outbreak. I am 36 and have had outbreaks (some very serious, some not) for 20 years. It is interesting that I typically have bouts at the end/beginning of the year also. I am looking forward to reading everyones histories this weekend - and to add mine...I hope you will do the same.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 {I had my first case of Strep a year ago. Now wondering if tat's when the Sarc started to manifest? I was living in unsanitary conditions, a molding trailer, no running water, and Mom's cooking! lol ahem. The strep was snuffed with antibiotics from the freecare clinic run by a local church, but the rest is Sarcing up the wrong tree imo.} Click Here! Enter the MetaPhorum!
