Hi, Billye (a/k/a/ Silverlady),

Was wondering what happened to you, and glad to see you back.

So very, very sorry to hear about your little dog. I know how devastating the loss of a pet can be, and I know how much pain you're in because of it. Hoping this will ease at least a little bit as time passes.

About your current state of health - sorry, too, that you're feeling so badly. Unfortunately, PN is still doing it's evil deeds and no magic bullet yet on the horizon.

As to the Sjogren's stuff, nothing there either. I found a local Sjogren's support group in early spring that meets five times a year, but was unable to attend because my husband fell this past winter and wound up with some bad ankle/leg fractures. All healed now, so looking forward to the next meeting (think it's July or August).

The group's coordinator is a woman who works for the Sjogren's Foundation, and she's very knowledgable (sp?). If there's anything specific you'd like me to ask when I do go, send me a PM.

You don't mention what, if anything, is being done for your lung problems. We've a niece who's had sarcoidosis since she was in her early 20's (now in her mid 50's) and lung issues associated with it. She does pretty well a lot of the time, but not to say she doesn't become ill with flares and other associated problems.

Best wishes,

Sheltiemom
