I didn't realize so many people used to speak it! My husbands family moved to the US from Germany in the 1860s-1880s and a lot of people in his family STILL speak fluent German. In fact, he wants to give our children really German names and raise them bilingual.

My grandma didn't teach my mom Japanese for the same reason. All of my friends who's mom/parents are from Japan can speak it, because their parents taught them, so now I'm the odd one out. :(

We’ve got the same problem in South Carolina, where my tribe- Pee Dee- are from. Half of our records say mulatto, then their children will say Indian, then it goes back to mulatto, and apparently we’re not “real indians” because every record doesn’t say Indian. We are real, we’re just victims of colonization, because we were the first tribe the Spanish encountered when they came to the Carolinas in the 1500s.

oh ok, I'm glad it's mostly under control and the medical marijuana worked well. I'm still really struggling to get everything under control, I'm on the highest doses of everything except prednisone (though it seems like every 8 or so weeks,I'm back to 15-20 mg of it), and I've basically tried every medication they make. It sucks so much, but I found out this morning that I was approved for disability, so at least I'll finally be able to afford all the medication, that's one less medical thing I have to worry about, haha.

We're on the same medicines, except I also take methotrexate and I'm on 10mg of prednisone. I have EDS, lupus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, and MCTD, so because of that, I basically have polymyositis too, I just don't test positive for it. It all started 24 years ago when I was 3, thats when I developed scleroderma.

Have you tried Humira, Enbrel, or Orencia? Honestly, none of them worked for me (I think my body is just weird), but my rheumatologist said they usually work great for arthritis.
