Thanks Maryann, Judy, Debbie, gmi and anyone else I may have missed, for the encouraging words! Yes, I'm planning on speaking with my pcp too being he's local and has known me for ages. Debbie, I'm glad you found the topic interesting and hopefully helpful to you also! gmi -- It's kind of strange, my youngest daughter, (33),lives in Phoenix and just got in to Philadelphia tonight at midnight! A friend met her at the airport then she's staying until the 19th. She's freezing!!! Said it was around 122 degrees out there??? We're having a couple cooler days here, in the 60's tonight and what a difference this less hot, humid weather makes for me! I feel like a different person pain-wise. How do you deal with all that heat? Thank heaven for a/c! I've often wondered if I would feel better out there without the humidity, but then guess you have to stay inside most of the time during the summer. If you want to "IM" me, feel free!!!

Well, I've used "Activia" for eight days so far, but haven't seen much improvement yet.

Take care everyone
