Hi Marjorie, I can understand completely about you're not being able to quilt bothering you the most. I am a smocker (not smoker) and sewer. My smocking had slowed down tremendously. I am one of the fortunate ones in that medication is keeping my disease under control. It took awhile to get the right combination, but now I have as much energy as I ever did and it seems like I have speeded up when doing needlework. Fortunately I am still in the very early stages and hope that I stay this way forever. Dora>
