Other new members, please write (if you are so inclined) and tell us about

your experience and/or interest in IAQ. Our membership ranges from

researchers and scientists - to teachers and staff - to industrial

hygenists/engineers/microbiologists - to doctors/medical personnel - to

toxicologists - to victims of toxic molds and other IAQ problems.

For those of you involved with school IAQ, there are also several excellent

support lists available (like IAQ 2000 and school IAQ) for you as well. Let

me know and I will send you info on how to join.

Barbara,

Thanks for the welcome! Im so happy to hear that you had 2

children while having RA and you went into remission during

pregnancy! Thats fantastic! I am so scared because my old rheumy

doc told me I may not be able to have children. I am worried about

the effect the medication will have on my ovaries/eggs and all that

but I suppose only time will tell! Take care & be well!
