Hi Roger,
First, best wishes from our household to Frances & you. Our sympathies as current flu sufferers, we are in that final period where it seems like it is trying to return. It has been a very unpleasant 2+ weeks.
I was going to reply to your "Who cares?" thread to say that my wife, Sharon, went through something that sounded like Frances' pseudo...., Sharon's was named Polymyalgia rheumatica (a self limiting syndrome) from 1990 to 1994, when we lived in Marin and it changed into something else and seemed to go away when we retired to the heat of San Antonio in 1998.
So, take care, we care.
Bob
