Message for Grace

Hi Grace

I don't know if you remember me - we exchanged a few e mails last year when we were both going through a horrible time - I think we were being treated at the same hospital. I am pleased to see you are doing ok and thinking positive. Happy Christmas!

Hi Staci

I read your post and felt I had to reply. I so know how you are feeling ( been there a few times!) and the only thing I can say is that i PROMISE it will get better.

You do feel horrendous for a few days but after a bit the horrendous times become less and less and you will feel ok again ...

Struggling a bit

Hello everyone

Enbrel - natural killer cells

Hi Loose<br><br>Thanks for your message.<br>I am at the Lister who did three blood tests on us. I am a little concerned that they don't seem to have gone into it as much as ARGC - but I guess they know what they are doing. Apparently my percentage of ANKC is 13% which is only a little over the norm ...
