, I'm glad you're thinking about this. We need to look at

EVERYTHING that impacts our illness and figure out why. I know the rap

on corticosteroid treatment is really bad, but I also remember this

discussion coming up in the past, and learning that there are people

out there who experienced not only remarkable short term relief from

corticosteroids, but long term as well. It might be one of those kinds

of things like chemo. Nobody likes it but it works in some cases.

(You know, it's funny, but I told someone a while back that if I got

cancer I wouldn't even want to do chemo for it at this point. I mean,

I'm tired of being sick, of fighting illness. What's the point of

getting rid of cancer, if I'm still going to be sick anyway? But then

I told them that the ONLY reason I WOULD do chemo is if it had a shot

at killing this infection!!!!)
