Aloha Ben,

Haven't talked to you in a long time. How're things?
I'm sitting here on the Virginia peninsula tonight waiting for the nuisance of a storm Hannah. The rain bands started in earlier...I love watching storms-I hope this doesn't pass thru during the night.

We've been on some of the same meds it seems. Except instead of Enbrel, mine is Remicade. I hope the people that have not tried any of those will give them a try. It's not like you can't get off of them if you're not happy. I guess most people here will use a lot of the same things sooner or later. It's much better to get on the good ones before the damage sets in, I hope the new kids realize that. Luckily my first rheumy has been very good to work with. It took a while to find a decent primary care though. I think that was my problem. So if anyone out there is not happy with their primary care(especially if you are in a hmo or similar) get a new one. It can make a world of difference.

I hope you are doing well these days. It looks like you might be getting a little of the Hannah storm yourself. Does your garden need rain?

Take care and hugs , Wanda
