Hi Paula,

Sorry I've been so bad about keeping in touch. I think of you (and all of my friends in Indiana) often. We'll be back in Connersville in early July, but only for about 3 days because we're going on an Alaska cruise this year! Just wanted to tell you that my rheumy was Dr. Denise Thornberry in Indianapolis. She was the one who diagnosed me back in 1985 and I saw her until we left in '05. When we left Indiana she was working out of the Methodist Hospital medical centers on the West side and the North side. Don't know if she still is; she moved offices several times during the years that I went to her. I don't know what her stance would be on the NSD but I was always satisfied with the treatment that I received for my mild AS. Good luck with your search!

Connie
