Hi Bekka,
I had been wondering a lot about Elizabeth myself. She was a "regular" for such a long time. Last we "talked" she was living in North Carolina, doing pretty well with her meds and having a hard time finding a job because of lack of transportation. And still very interested in going to medical school, but had to do a premed year (she had been a math major) before she could apply.
She was still on buprenorphine and I'm sure is disappointed that the sublingual type has been held up for at least another year. Eliz and I and another woman (Lorraine) wrote to each other everyday for over six months--starting spring 2001, I think. She had thought her depression was related to immuned deficiency and it turned out that she was right, finding finally that she was at a late stage of lyme disease. Lyme can imitate the characteristics of depression, as well as other things. She has being treated for the lyme but I think it is a long process of several types of antibiotics and they made her feel really sick with diarrhea.
I'd love to know also how Elizabeth is doing.
