Default Thanks and welcome to our little band

Glad to have you visit and I hope that you will stay. We can use the expertice. We have several chemists, a microbiologist, a nurse or two, but no MDs that I know of. We did once have a certain actor I am told, but he is away raising money for the effort.

We have individually survived anywhere from a year to twenty years "before the mast" and a fair number have slipped beneath the wakes. But we struggle on in search of the Grail. We might even find it eventually.

It seems that we might be re-writing the books about what is supposed to happen to people with this disease. Best wishes to all of you.
