For Molly re: Kaplan

[Guest guest]

Hi Molly,

I was Kaplan's patient when he was head of immunology at Stoneybrook Univ.

Hosp, here on Long Island. My present doc was under him there. (Hope not

she's a gal!) LOL He's the guru of CU.

If you live near him now, I think it worth your while to get his take on

your condition.

He's very dry, but pleasant enough. After one visit he changed my meds as

needed over the phone,

and I saw an assistant every so often. I felt much safer in his care, than I

do with my present doc. She more or less uses the same proticol as he and

goes to all his seminars. In my heart of

hearts, I believe there's just so much these docs can do. They're only

treating a symptom,and

have just so many meds that the drug companies have to offer. Our biggest

hope is that in looking to cure some major disease, they'll come across

something that will also work for CU. Kind of like coming in the back door.

Anyway that's about all I can relate in regard to Kaplan, as you can see he

didn't cure me. I've had this condition on and off for 9 years. My last

remission lasted 2 years. I thought it was all over! Lots of Luck! Be well,

Molly. Hold in there. Plenty

of caring folks here with alot of knowledge. Be well. Hugging you in my

heart. Ging
