MP, STAY HERE AND WATCH THE BOY WHILE I LOOK INTO THIS MATTER ABOUT THAT! BOX/ RESCUE THE PRINCE, AND TAKE HIM AWAY 4 & J ifl By Dr. Lawrence E. Lamb DEAR DR. LAMB: I am a 65- old woman. I have had reheumatol arthritis since I was 29. It started in my thumbs and mostly affected my hands and feet and sometimes my shoulders. For many years it did not bother me too much, but in the past year I have taken Motrin and Feldene. A year ago my fingers were swollen and hurting. My collar bone hurt. I had back pain and fluid on my knees. My doctor put me on five mg of prednisone f every other day, plus two Naprosyn. I have been feeling fine ever since. Two weeks ago I cut my prednisone to 2V4 mg every other day, with my doctor's permission. I am afraid of potential side effects from these drugs (liver, kidney damage, cataracts). 1 have had blood tests and everything is OK. Is this treatment standard practice for \ rheumatoid arthritis? Are there reasons for not taking prednisone for long periods of time? I'd really ap­ preciate your comments. DEAR READER: Your story should be encouraging to many young people with rheumatoid arthritis. It is possi­ ble to live with this problem for years and lead a normal life. Rheumatoid ar­ thritis most commonly strikes young women. Initially there was great enthusiasm for corticosteriod medications in treating rheumatoid arthritis. It enabl­ ed crippled patients to throw away their crutches and walk. It seemed like a miracle drug. But experience proved that It could also be dangerous. This led to a time when such medicines as prednisone were nof used at all. Now a more balanced view prevails. It is useful in some cases. A small dose of prednisone, five mg a day, is not likely to cause any pro­ blems. And if It is given every other day, it is even more safe. Certainly, I would not anticipate that you would have any problems with 2to mg every other day. All medicines may cause some problems, so It is important to have regular evaluations.. I have discussed the various medica­ tions used in treating rheumatoid ar­ thritis in The Health Letter, Special Report 10, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis," which I am sending you. Others who want this Issue can f.end 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it to me in care of this newspaer, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA 92713. The other medicines you are taking are called nonsteroids. Using these makes it possible to use very small doses of corticosterlods, as in your case. It is a common and good practice when needed. DEAR DR LAMBr Whenever I scratch myself, even lightly, red streaks appear that last for several minutes. The skin on my trunk is especially sensitive. 1 noticed when other people get their backs scratched this doesn't happen. I'm not worried about It but it's slightly embarrassing. I would appreciate It If you would tell me why1 this happens. DEAR READER: You have a form of hives. It ifdrtled factitious urticaria or also dermatographism. The latter term literally means writing, on your skin. In such Individuals you can light­ ly scratch the skin and actually write letters on It. The line directly under the scratch Is white and there is a raised red area on each side of the line. It is like being allergic to light mechanical pressure. Minor pressure from tight belts or clothing may also cause a similar reac­ tion. It Is not dangerous nor an indica­ tion of any significant health- threatening disorder, It can be supressed with hydroxyslne, but there is no cure for it. This can occur In conjunction with an allergic state, such as after a penicillin reaction, and then disappear. It may also occur at the- onset of the menopause. igs Bunny® CMA$N '>OU ALL OVER -THE QZOZGN NOie-rw. -CRITTER, NOW a RNALW SOTSA IN MY S I G H T S A N D IMA GO1/sJA' gUA9T YA IP >OU O-IGCK iwe fish anp &AM£ P5SUUA1WS... wapir ooc.

When you spend a weekend playing 105 deals against 35 of tbe world's top bridge partnerships, you'd better be ready for some high-level bridge. South was unlucky that the West de­ fender who doubled him in four spades was Mike Passell, Bermuda Bowl World Champion in 1979. The double was for takeout. Passell felt that he could find a spot to play even if his partner took out to five clubs. When East passed tbe double, Mike still felt safe. After all, he had a singleton ace to lead and perhaps could find a way to get his partner on lead. He tried the ace of clubs. When be saw the dummy, he was tempted to cash the diamond ace and then switch to the king of hearts. But with that play, declarer would almost surely dropping, stead, at I have made his contract. It would cost him nothing with that defense to sim­ ply take a spade finesse. With the king that would be 10 tricks. In- i, at trick two Mike switched to tbe four of hearts. Put yourself in de­ clarer's shoes Doesn't it look as if West has four hearts to an honor' If you duck the heart, East will win a po­ tential singleton, get partner back in with the ace of diamonds and then get a heart ruff. Declarer went up with the ace oi hearts and played tae stub king to get rid of his diamond. Pasaell ruffed, cashed the K-Q of hearts, and then Elayed the diamond ace. South ruffed ut bad no way to get to dummy to take tbe spade finesse. Down two.
