Great idea! I will put that on my to do list today.

Please remind me a few days before because I am now going to start a new project and my mind might not be in focussed drive with everything.

thanks so much John

John, I saw your comment in the chat room today about being taken off of cellcept at 5 yrs. I'm still on it and I have had no indication that I would stop from my Dr. I have an appointment in Dec. so I will ask if there is a chance of this happening to me. It would be nice to cut the expense and the nuisance of the pills! I can't say that I have heard of anyone being removed from cellcept here in Michigan.

'm doing quite well, except for all the weight gain from the prednisone they put me back on. My enzymes showed the sarcoidosis growing again, so they had to. I certainly don't want sarcoid in my new heart. I won't be able to attend the chat today because it's my youngest sons birthday and I promised to take him to see the movie Promethius. You know how 15 yr olds are, their into aliens and such. Maybe later today or tomorrow. Talk to you later.
