    Lisa, you're such an inspiration to me! You're helping me to reconnect to a spirit of optimism and hopefulness I haven't had since early on.

    I look back and see it was the blood clots that just did me in--physically and emotionally. They happened within days of getting diagnosed and starting treatment. I was barely coming to terms with the Wegs and the drugs I'd have to take, and it just put me over the top to be even weaker, more damaged, have more dietary restrictions, and have to wear full-length rubber compression stockings through an entire sweltering summer while on high-dose pred. And it's not like it ended there--repeat clots, and lots of vein damage/ swelling in my legs has kept me from walking.

    I'm starting aquatics physical therapy soon--that should make a big difference in getting stronger. Gravity just ain't working.

    Anyway, thank you, and thank you to everyone for showing me what life can be like.

    Sorry in advance for the totally off-topic post but....

    That's great news, Lisa. I think I'd like to learn an instrument. I could play the piano and clarinet when I was in school and to a lesser extent, the saxaphone (Homer Simpson: 'Saxomofone'). Perhaps we can expect to see 'Lisa and the Weggies' or perhaps 'The Vasculitis Players' at a venue near you?

    Hey!!! I reckon 'Cytoxan' would be a great name for a heavy metal band. What do you think?

    Sorry

    Don't know, Andrew. Heavy metal has been implicated as one possibility for development of Wegs. "Cytoxan and the Bunny Rabbits from Hell". (just add a guitar to the "New Posts" bunny)

    This just made me bust out laughing. I almost spit my oatmeal onto my monitor. Jack-- all of you-- you are hysterical.

    Thanks, Jack, meet the band in my garage in 30 minutes! They want to thank you for the cracking new logo!

    p.s. I created a T-shirt/bumper sticker design for the new band, but I'm not clever enough on the computer yet to post it.

    To post pictures in the Forum, you first need to upload them to an image hosting service such as Photobucket.
    The photo will then be given a web address that you can paste into the Insert Image box at the top of the Reply page (the icon is a picture of some mountains).


    This should probably all be posted in a different section. I think we've hijacked the thread!

    Exclamation Ooops! Where is our fearless WeBmeister when we need him?

    So true Jack! I opened a new thread called, of course, CYTOXIN And The Bunny Rabbits From Hell Band for all of these misplaced bunny rabbit entries. I confess to loving them- BR'S-, and feel they have given new hope to researchers asking that perennial question, "What exactly do these Weggies have in common that might lead us to a cure for weggieitis??"

    Sorry, Andrew! I know we will have to behave better in future, especially since you are policing people from at least five time zones around the world, and those of us on Prednizone, not to mention those of us not on Prednizone, seem to relate BRs to some spiritually realized state of mind: "Yes, I do talk with bunny rabbits. They have a lot more to say than my African violets, and they are a lot less stressful than people.....!"
