Hi Ronel,

I am still friends with her to this very day and she's still looking for the magic potion that might help me and sends me little snippets of articles in the mail a few times a year. I am grateful to have friends that care so much! She once dragged me out to see some healer guru (I humour her every now and then) who proclaimed within 2 mins of meeting me, that I should avoid all citrus fruit! He seemed a little too interested in laying his 'healing hands' on me, urgh, so needless to say, I didn't step foot into his shop. I don't fault people for not appreciating what some of us go through, how can they know? But I do always hope they'll try to be respectful of my choices and she is actually, more so than this may sound. She also sensed that I might have good luck on Remicade, since, as she put it, "You have always been kind to mice." She is cute. The power of mouse karma! Maybe it's true, it is working!

I am so glad your brother is feeling better again; I hope it continues for him and that you will find relief from this too!
