TV's House

[Mark54]

     My wife and I had taped House and watched it last night. We thought it was great that Sjogren's was given the "lime light" but there were so many things left unsaid.
     
     We were glad that it showed how serious Sjogren's is and and can be and that it isn't just a dryness problem. It would of been nice if the words primary and secondary would of been used.
     
     Chele has had and still has major problems with her lungs. Since seeing the show she is wondering if she might have cyst in her lungs. It will be definitely checked out.

     Chele and I both agreed that the woman on woman scenes didn't need to be as graphic, but we did think the show finally highlighted her disease. Our daughter called us about 10 minutes after we were done watching the show and said she had taped it as well and just finished watching it. She said during the whole show that she bets it Sjogren's. The show gave her a better understanding as what her Mom is going though. We are hoping "others" will have seen this show and realize that Sjogren's is really a disease and can change lives in an instant!

God's blessings,

Mark....

Pudmot... I'm so sorry you can't get the hulu website over there. Doesn't www stand for world wide web? You'd think that would mean all over the world, huh? I never thought it couldn't be seen everywhere. Sorry. Dale

I thought it was great that they didnt mention the dryness in the beginning...even though its an intrical part of Sjogrens. I think House could have elaborated a bit more on the disease, but oh well..also glad some Sjogrens sufferers got the chance to watch it with family members-shows how critical it can get.

Since this is a new season/episode, sure they will rerun it again..

I didn't get to see it yet, but I will definitely check it out.  I wouldn't be to critical of the lack of in depth coverage of Sjogrens, remember, House uses his can on the wrong side, it's just make believe folks.  But it is nice to see SS get a little coverage, unfortunately the average Americans memory is about 15 seconds, but it is a start.
