Thanks Victor! I have to wait until I’m well enough to drive to the doctor but I will be fine!

So sorry. Illness is unfathomable, why some have a condition but others are immune. Best regards for a speedy recovery.

Thanks Hilda! We all bear a cross in some way I suppose.

Dear Karen, I am so sorry for your flare up. I pray that it quickly subsides for you. My one Son-in-Laws has such bad skin rashes that it almost disables him. He told me the name, but I forgot, and it is not one of the more common ones. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Wow I will pray for him! Some people with Lupus or Exzema ( can’t spell it) can have painful rashes. But we all have a cross to bear right? Thanks for your well wishes! Blessings!

What a rotten time for lupus to flare up. Here's to adjusting meds or whatever is needed, and a speedy recovery, Karen!! :) gw

I’m allergic to most lupus meds. I have been in remission for two years and think the summer heat and sun is partly to blame. But I am still blessed that pain is decreasing and will not stay long term. Besides I got piano goals that these muscle spasms in my hand delay but won’t stop! Thanks for your concern and well wishes Gershon!
