Hi.. I called the Lupus Center here and I got some information for
you. First, she is going to send me some information that I can
forward to you. If I would have had your address I would have told
her to send it to you. Anyway, when I get it, tell me your address
and I'll send it.  She also said that October is National Lupus
Awareness Month.  Also she gave me the address of the Memphis
Chapter.  You might already have it, but I'll give it to you
anyway.  It's the Memphis Area Chapter 3181 Poplar Ave, Suite 100
Memphis, 38111.  Their phone number is 901-377-2555.  Also
yesterday I was at the bookstore and I saw 2 books about Lupus.
One was called "Understanding Lupus"  it's author is Henrettia
Aladjem and it's $10.95.  The other is called "Embracing the Wolf",
it's author is Joanna Baumer Permut.  It's about a lupus victim and
her family and how they learn to live with the chronic disease.
It's $14.95.  I forgot to write down the publishers on these but
I'm sure you will be able to find them.  Anyway, how are you and
Patricia doing?  I have some information and address for her if she
needs them.  I bought myself a book called "The Chron's Disease
Handbook".  It's put out by the National Foundation for Colitis and
Ileitis.  Jeff started reading it before I got a chance.  That's
o.k. I'll just take it away from him <grin>. Well I have to go,
take care and have a nice weekend.  I'll be watching for your
posts.
				      Take Care, Anne
