Index Number: 13842 Does anyone on the list have lupus? I would like a pen pal. I was diagnosed in November (on my birthday!) and have alot of pain and fatigue when the disease flares up. The flares seem tobe pretty random although I have larned that too much activity and sunlight will guraratee a flare. I have changed my lifestyle drastically to cope and still hold my job. Do any of you do visualization to help with sleep and pain? My initial experiments have been helpful. Boy, isn't shopping the pits? Those big malls and huge parking lots are out for me. I've done more by mail catalogs than I ever dreamed possible. Does anyone know of a good jar opener? I don't have much strength in my hands and haven't found anything yet. The rubber gripper doesn't help enough. Bye for now-Ann Bell (efoat@UMCVMB)
