I think there should be one nasty disease per person, but it seems as soon we're assigned one bunch of alphabet soup, we start to accumulate others.

The bad news is that it's incurable, it's something else you need to take care of. The good news is that many of the drugs for RA cross over and help MS.

Bad news, it's ugly. Good news, it's treatable.

Oh, and make sure they check you for Lyme, too.
