You are, indeed, a very special member of PT, and I hope this begins a very good year for you.

As for your Lupus - I know very well what it is. I have posted elsewhere about my friend (and former catsitter) who is in advanced stages of Lupus. I could share your information with her; she and her husband plan on joining PT -you may have read the thread I posted on their dog Nikata.

In any case - I'm sorry we missed the day, but the wishes are heartfelt.

You could most definitely share my information with her. It would be nice to speak to someone who understands what I am dealing with. I am going to try and find a group in my area. My boyfriend doesn't even "get it". The pain comes and goes. This morning my hands were so achey I couldn't type or use my phone to text. I was using my left hand to do things. He wanted me to get up and fix us some breakfast, and when I told him I couldn't do so because I wouldn't be much help in the kitchen he just stood there staring at me like I was making up an excuse. It really did hurt!

Anyway, thank you all so very much. I love it here. That's why I've been around for so long. People here make me feel so much better when life is being cruel.
