Thanks Peg,what a sweetheart!
I think you're right about the generation thing.
My sister ,who's quite a bit older than me,is in pretty bad shape with Lupis(another autoimmune disease).Unfortunately,her condition is so much worse because of the medications the doctors fed her over the past 20 or so years.
It was ironicly,just that, that made me take control over my own healthcare decisions.
