Hi Mom. I'm so glad ur improving. I've belonged to this forum for a couple of years and I still find the folks absolutely wonderful. I went to a local lupus support group last week and I'm not sure I'll go back. My friends at HealingWell often go thru nasty flares just like I do and I can relate to them so easily. Last summer a few of us from the atlanta area met in person which was great. I hope u continue to stay a member of our forum and I look forward to hearing how ur doing- good or bad. Love, Butterflake
