My current favorite Mt Peak is named Palmyra Peak, so I thought it fitting for my member name. Will add a pic to my profile later.
My daughter was diagnosed in 2006 at Mayo, Rochester after some reasonable local docs saw a CT chest, did an open lung biopsy, and said, "Holy Cow! We have never seen this. Can you get to Mayo?"
Her VF expert is Ulrich Specks (love that man!),
pred, MTX were not able to obtain remission, so being the superman he is, Specks got insurance approval for Rituxin 4 years ago.
She us having some issues now with opportunistic infections, and finding great local docs. See my recent post on the "Doctor, hospital" section.
A little about me....I am a temporarily retired periodontal hygienist, with an interest in oral medicine. I taught for a few years at the local dental school, and have worked clinically for 25+ years. My husband is a general DDS.
Glad to be here,
Palmyra (Jane)
