Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 It's good to hear from you, Merv. I'm glad you are finally feeling halfway human again!! You know, with this diseases, if we didn't have hope, what would be the point. Hope, faith, and family. THIS family. The bothers and sisters that are here going through this and supporting each other in anyway we possibly can. This family is just as strong and effective, if not more so, than any medication or doctor out there. Glad things are looking up for you and I pray it stays in that general direction.......Marina --- In , Merv Punnett <merv_punnett@y...> wrote: > > Dear freinds, > I haven't written anyone in 10 months, forgive me > all.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 So glad you're doing better Merv. You're the first person I've heard of to take Neoral. I was on it about 20 years ago, but don't remember much about it except that it wasn't effective for me. I didn't realize they still used it. How great that you've responded to it. I hope you continue to feel better. a On Dec 4, 2005, at 6:58 PM, Merv Punnett wrote: > Dear freinds, > I haven't written anyone in 10 months, forgive me > all.
