Whew! That's a lot of arthritis! I
doubt that we'll ever be able to have disease description for all of
them but we are going to work on it! This week we'll be expanding our Disease
Index adding a new type of arthritis everyday beginning
tomorrow. Stop in everyday to see what's new. Don't
forget to join us tonight (Monday) at 9:30pm in the Chatroom.
Dr.
Barry Waters will be in to answer our questions about arthritis. See
you there!
