Thanks Pin, finally, some good news about RA, yippeeeeee, Janie.

I would not have had a good impact on that study if I had taken part!! lolol

Oh well, the prob I have now is one Im sure lots of you have...cant do the vino with the drugs .

Hessalina, I just love that avatar, it is too cute!

Maybe it's one of those HLA/HLB markers? Not sure if I have that right. I've never been tested for that. I would be curious to know if my young sons have it, but then I'd probably just worry?

Yeah, I was thinking it was the HLA-B27, which I tested negative for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-B27I thought Happy Hour was nap time *glug, glug... pass* [/QUOTE]

I'm with you!!Alcohol may help if you are one of the 90% of the population that does not have a toxic reaction to alcohol. If you are one of the 10% of the population that has a toxic reaction to alcohol, it can kill you.

I think it is irresponsible to give a report that does not include this fact.
