Thanks, Mike. As I was posting my relapse news, I was thinking, Oh, rats, Mike is going to be disappointed. It's so hard to tell. It may be that the Imuran is doing wonders and I'd be worse off without it.

Yes, I guess we're "refractory." I like the word. I think it used to be applied to stubborn and disobedient children.

Or it may be that this is a temporary relapse and I'll get stronger again. It's such an up-and-down disease that there's some real hope in that.
