Thanks for responding, Sherry. :-) I have been wondering as the morphea showed up on me as a kid about the same time I started having a lot of pain in my joints and bones. My doctor hadn’t a clue on the morphea (it was just diagnosed this last fall) but told me the pain was arthritis. It just seems strange that both started at about the same time… — In Messiah, Lee ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ "…maybe there is woe enough yet to come, though still hope may seem bright." –Galadriel http://home-educate.com/ ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
