Fred

DX AA 12/98 

Hi Bruce, sorry for taking so long to get to you. We have somthing in

common. Hope you are coping well with this disorder. So far, I`ve done well.

ATG, cyclosporine, steroids, transfusions. Thats the treatments I have

recieved. Currently I only take magnesium, and ativan to help relax. Was

diagnosed Dec 98. My doc and I feel that I got the disorder from working

with blacktop, tar, and the spraying of pesticides. I`m at the moment in

court to prove this. Had to have hip surg. last Oct from the predisone they

had me on during the immunonesuppresents. Please don`t mind my spelling

Bruce. Seems the femoral head of the hips are damaged and could collapse.

They performed a bone graph on the left hip and so far it is working out ok.

Hope to get the right side done this Oct. Try to stay as active as I can,

biking is relaxing to me. Lifting weights also. Don`t dwell on the disorder,

it`s no good to stress as you may already know. Well Bruce, drop me a line.

If I can be of any help, it would be my pleasure.

Stay positive, and active!!! Take care, Fred.
