Mark - thanks for posting your email and Dr Judy's response. It helps so much. I am scared. I have been down, totally housebound and real, sick since May 08 now.
I was relapsing/remitting for a long time (4-6 months down and then about 3 mo ok for about 11 years), now I know, just like you, that I cannot get well again, my body is too beaten down. I know that I am dying and do not think that I will see my 60's. I am praying everyday that something happens before it is too late.

I don't have the strength to read this forum everyday, too much for my pee brain, but I certainly try. I know it is the only way I can help my infectious disease doc at Kaiser.
Someday, I hope beyond measure, that we will be redeamed.

JustJack, please, please don't give up yet...please, please hold in there, I think they are maybe only a short way from finally nailing this thing. We have a very special lady on our side who is not going to give up.., I know that your body is so incredibly tired but please keep trying to fight it. God bless you and I will be thinking about you.

Thanks Julie! So many wheels have turned in this DD for so many years. When you are sick as long as I have been, it sems hardly likely that it will change quickly enough.
I hang in, I wait, I hope and pray.
