Yes. I know Dr. Denlinger. Good guy. I was going to ask him about my condition when I worked there but never did. Best of luck today! Let us know how it goes! - Jen

I am happy to report Dr Denlinger says he is now certain it was an infection that is getting better and not cancer that he was concerned about. His staff were all excited to see yhe difference in me over 4 months. He will ct in a year for followup but his smile meant everything to me,. He was supportive of me staying on methotrexate as it has been the key to my improved health. Ill continue to try and get dental work needed, swim again, and increase exercise. Handling mixed connective tissue diseases is hard enough so im delighted to be getting better. The support and care i have received here has been so encouraging, thank you all for everything.
