Hey there, kinch
No advice but checking in to say "hi" and "CRAP, @&%$ this stupid disease" on your behalf, my friend. Glad you don't have to go the IVSM route; not having chosen steroids yet, I only know from the board what a bugger they can be but I'm scared about 'em and a TOTAL pansy to boot.
Small mercy but, you've obviously still got your way with words and that 'take no prisoners' sense of humor.

Thinking of you!!!
