Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 HI All, Glad you're none the worse for wear, Vicki. More or less, anyway! I just read today part of the conference transcripts on the MAA site and found it interesting. In particular, one of the specialists, Dr. I think, said that he doesn't see fibromyalgia occurring with myositis patients, only rarely. He said other rheumatoid/autoimmune diseases are much more common with myositis. He said that doesnt mean you CAN't have fibro if you have or had myositis, just that it isn't seen much. Hmmmm.... also, his discussion of CPK levels I found interesting- and it clarified things more for me. Think I'll print it out. Wish there were more transcripts. A couple other things I found informative, as well- his discussion of losing bits of muscle with every flare up, etc. Annette. way to go! Can't beleive you finished the portrait already! I imagine you've said " yes " to the other people re: painitng their grandchildren! Good luck Vicki with the drawing- take your time.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Hi ... was that this years transcripts or last years... ??? The part about losing more muscle with each flare was and is interesting though. Explains a lot. I remember Dr. talking about that this year. I just wish we knew more and more doctors were involved. Watch Oprah today and take care, Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 ... I sure did say yes to painting the grandchildren. My van needs lots of work, and therefore so do I! :-) Annette don't know what to put HI All, Glad you're none the worse for wear, Vicki. More or less, anyway!
