The ANA also may not be that high, either.
HI Mrs. D.

No, so far, Alan doesn't have any of those things. His blood tests came back all good in those departments. And his PN never progressed beyond his feet for 20 years.

I guess we'll never find out.

OH well, at least he has fun making videos.

lol

thanks much

Melody
