Molly,

I wish you and your vegetable soup of scary diagnosis' is the exception, but

unfortunately it is not. Most of us have gone thru the same kind of thing,

but your possibilities are pretty scarey and I really do feel for you. I am

sending you a huge hug<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>

and wishing and praying that things will even out for you. It would be nice

to snap and make things go away. I would find the Dr. (Rheumy) I trust the

most AND will listen to you and confide to him ALL of your concerns.

Hopefully he can lead the team in the right direction for you. Please keep us

posted, you are welcome to E-mail me direct if you would like.

Gentle Hugs 7 prayers,

Sorry that you are living with so much uncertainty.
