Good morning, CMN ((HUGS))

Sorry to hear you are no better. I sure hope they discover what the problem is soon. Did you have a tick bite some time recently? Got a fever? Infection? Sending up another prayer for discovery and healing.

Sending FReepmail.

[ConorMacNessa]

No tick bite - I suspect a medication is involved. My gastroenterologist had me on high doses of prednisone for the last couple of months. Thanks very much for the prayers!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
