Simon, glad to hear that the Cellcept works for you....I bet the insurance co is glad too, lol!!

Hope you feel better soon!
Big hugs!

Gosh Erin, those crises are so hard to take...I've been lucky so far that I didn't end up in hospital...just thought I was dying from heart failure after an endo guy told me that...wasn't true, thank goodness....hope you're feeling better....
