Thanks JoanMarie63 and Ewizabeth for you considerate thoughts and info. I have read many of the personal histories contained here and have found them helpful. This is something that has been slowly tearing me down, from the weakness stealing the things I love to do from me, or the steroids that make me feel like I'm dying, to the secrecy of trying to appear normal... and to the uncertainty of the future (even tommorrow).

I have a question as to what I should put on a Med Alert bracelet (other than name, condition and allergies).

Thanks again
