Thanks for that SoS... I had not noted that....

Toni's Bernhard's book was very helpful - it is amazing how often I think of something i read in it and how it ertains to our illness.

And I think of Toni who can never get out when i am lucky enough to have a good day and can thus do something and get out of the house, even if only for a few hours.
