Hi Melany,

Thanks for signing my guestbook. Yes, My rheumatologist did run the CCP test and it was negative. My Ferritin was high, so something is going on. Just have to find out why. Time will tell I suppose. Otherwise, I'm feeling very good right now.

Hi Menany

Great news on the echo and bp being under better control without medication! Too bad it took so long to diagnose the fibromyalgia. Usually they test your trigger points and if most of them are positive, that's another way to come up with a diagnosis. Hopefully the treatment will work and you'll feel 100% with your active life.

Hi Melany

Hope the next echo gives he doctor a clue as to what treatment will be best for you. On my one year anniversary (last month) I re-read my journal and 90% of my guest book. It is amazing to realize how far we have come and remind ourselves how blessed we are. I also realize a lot of the issues have faded from my mind. Right now am especially praying for Ruth who had her surgery last week and is having a complicated and serious recovery. Wishing you a beautiful spring.

Hey Melany....I am so sorry about this new problem. We did put you on the prayer list at church last night. God can answer prayers as you well know. Just wanted to let you know that you guys are in my thoughts and prayers....Love, Pam
