Dear List-family... It's late and I'm tired so this will be brief (STOP LAUGHING, Becker! I know how to write BRIEF messages - - - - I just don't DO it very often) <grin> I saw my primary MD at Kaiser today (9/13/99) about the foot pain I'd posted about over the weekend. His diagnosis was that the pain has been caused by rheumatoid arthritis, which I was tested for 15 years ago. At that time EVERY test came out positive, however after 6 months of taking Naprasyn, the RA went into remission. Within 3 days after starting Mirapex I ended up with VERY painful RA in my hips which responded well to 1. stopping the Mirapex, and 2. taking 800 mg. of Motrin three times a day. Soooo.. I'm back on the Motrin - with caution. From that day till I tried Mirapex (about 2 years ago), I was RA-symptom-free. Thanks again to all you dear List-folks who responded so thoughtfully when I first asked for info regarding the Planters-thingee. Barb Mallut [log in to unmask]
