Although you and your family were lucky enough to survive, the stress

of all that has been going on around you is overwhelming. Meds are so

expensive and I understand the stress of worrying about having to

replace them. All the stress, the cleaning, etc. has more than likely

caused your flare. I hope and pray that you find out where your

Rheumy is practicing now. If you have no luck with that, then I would

try and find a Rheumy in a nearby area.

Best of luck to you and your family,

How lucky you are to have escaped the damage that Katrina could have
