MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Tex, thank you for the information. I did call the p...

JoAnn called me and mentioned that you had written to me on the thread and suggested that I post on the main message board. She was kind enough to guide me in that process. I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate th...
