Sophie Z'OursI cannot stop thinking about all of you who are suffering from Autoimmune diseases.
We just recieved in the mail today the latest journal "The Scientist" (may 2007) and there is a supplement of 80 pages about autoimmunity.
So for those who can get to read that journal, you may fancy read this month's one!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Back Road BearsSophie.... the worst thing about autoimmune diseases, in my personal experience, is that you can't have just one! As the years go on another is diagnosed, followed by another and another like your body is rejecting itself, killing itself or something. I'm afraid I've quit reading about it... it's depressing... there are no answers or cures... so I've just learned to live with it all the best I can and move forward. I know for others that's impossible as some of these autoimmune diseases can be so crippling physically and mentally. It is indeed quite sad. That's why we love teddy bears so much... the comfort us!
Is "The Scientist" a French publication?
Sophie Z'OursOh, Daphne, I was not thinking about that feeling you could have when reading informations about these diseases. Sorry about that. I just don't realise how hard it must be for you and the others who have to cope with them.
A little hope for you though: on the TV news yesterday, I heard that some researchers managed to heal mouses suffering autoimune diseases with arsenic. They said it would take a few years until they find the right way to use it on humans too. They already use arsenic to heal some leukemia.
So never give up, honey!
Concerning the Scientist, this is an American journal for Scientists mainly.
Beary hugs,
Sophie. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Waggle BearsDaphne, I didn't know you are living with autoimmune disease, too. I'll keep you in my prayers, too. 
Back Road BearsMarlys... thanks... when I think of Sarah and others who are so much worse off than I it makes me almost feel bad for saying a thing. I handle mine pretty well.... except for diabetes the rest of mine are mild cases or in the beginning stages. I know down the road I'll struggle more. Perhaps a good dose of arsenic will help by then. 
Sophie, I'll have to see if I can get my hands on this issue of the Scientist. It heps to k now the latest, once in a while. I've been holding my breath for a cure for diabetes for 25 years now. "They" get our hopes up every once in a while but nothing yet.

Posts: 535It's not fun living with any disease, that's for sure! I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and had a reoccurance on my last pregnancy and almost lost my little girl. Not fun! I feel for anyone who has to live with anything that we can definitely do without!
Hugs,
Julie
