I am so excited that we have someone who is willing to fund research, I can
hardly wait to give this information to my doctors. I want to see if anyone
is willing to go to the meetings. I think one will want to go. So I better
get off the computer and get this printer out and send it to her.
How have you been feeling lately? I am doing alright but i keep getting
coldsores and i am getting tired of it[?]! Well I need to get going.

I am so excited. I would go, if the travel isn't too far. Let me know where and when? I would love to see a cure for Devic's.

THank GOD!!!! Finally it seems someone is looking to help this lone
group of people. Gary wanted me to look something up on the net
yesterday. I told him I was already in contact with everything I could
get my hands on. I said,"you do realize that you have a RARE
disease." Maybe we can get some exposure as well now. I'm tired of
telling Drs more educated than me about a disease they have never
heard of. Gary woke me up early morning hours to say the feeling was
messing up in his legs. At this point, we are waiting out some oral
preds for the day and will see Dr tomorrow. Dang it! Here we go
again! Been contemplating Rituxan, looks more real now.
This is great news. i'm anxious to follow this and see their protocol
for how to award money. also, i hope some of our members who go to
the doctors who went to the first meeting will ask their drs. about
the foundation.
