Dercum's Disease Support Group

For all you lovers out there...I am going to send Dr Karen Herbst..the leading researcher and physician in the US for fat disorders.. a valentine...gotta get to the store! I'll make it from the group but if any of you would like to..go ahead and flood her with love! She deserves it..dealing with our pain on a daily basis. If you have little rug rats you could just steal one of theirs to send. If you have never written a love letter..here is your chance..or just a simple thank you so she knows we are all out here waiting for her to save us! She has a little girl who would probably like to get a valentine too. You can mail it to her at:

Dr Karen Herbst

Hillcrest Medical Offices South

4168 Front Street

San Diego, CA 92103

Now all I have to do is remember..Note to my short term memory..get card. Thanks my Valentine Peeps! No live chickies please! Hugs, Grandma Sylvia

Thats Awesome Sylvia! Good thinking.

Thank for doing this for us! This is a great idea

Great minds think alike, I dropped off a little gift of chocolate kisses at my doctors office today just to say thanks for putting up with my million questions and phone calls and my poor memory
