hmmmm..

Cheryl.. this is the case with Lupus too.... I have never met anyone with the
same numerous problems that I have--as I understand it...there are very few
out there with lupus and TM.... [I am still looking for an answer to that one,
as I would be very interested....Does anyone have any idea of that number?]
However I have met people who have experienced similar things related to the
system's immune attacks on internal organs and joints...and then... I have met
people who have experienced things I've never experienced---and they have
enlightened my life.

Because the auto-immune system is sooooo complex and fascinating --it doesn't
surprise me that the body reacts in so many different ways to strange
stimuli--If we were all alike and all shared the same experience this world
might be an awfully dull place... I'm soooo glad God had a wonderful
imagination when he created us all....

I am also glad and VERY grateful that I found all of you.. I have been
enlightend in soooo many ways.... by your profound experiences.. and your
gentle, kind spirits.... Finally...I am not having to go thru this alone...and
have found others who can understand the frustrations.. and challenges that go
along with having a difficult often misunderstood ailment/illness...
Sometimes I don't take enough time to say.. THANK YOU... Tonight seemed just
as good a night as any...as Next Thursday will be THANKSGIVING and many thanks
will be given then... I just don't want this thank you to get lost!!
