You've been to Belize!? Sorry your trip there had a bad outcome : / I too seem to have gotten worse since being sick. This past november I had a small cold turn into pneumonia..for a long while I felt awful, and since I haven't been doing near as good.

Today I've had a lot of twitches in my arms, face, legs and neck. It's really annoying.

She has talked to me about the steroids..I really, really don't want to take them though. Getting steroid dependent at my age would not be good. My levels continue to go up and up. I think it's something I'll have to look into eventually. That and Imuran.

My problem with my profession is that taking any sort of immunosupressant could be bad. I'm around sick people my entire day and get sick enough as it is..I can't imagine it with a lower immune system.

Again, it was nice to hear from you! I live about 4 hours south of you Erin, in the Rio grande valley. Small world, despite the size of texas, lol.
