Vicevich describes recent Lupus fight on Fox 61
As many of you probably figured out, Jim’s Lupus flared up significantly about two weeks ago and he’s been off the air for some time. He was in the hospital for a good portion of last week, and returned home last weekend. He plans to be back on the air Monday morning at 9 a.m. ET.
Along with Dr. Michael Grey, chief of medicine from the Hospital of Central Connecticut, Jim discussed Lupus during a segment with Logan Byrnes this morning on FOXCT.

I’m so glad to hear that Jim’s turned a corner & is feeling better (whatever qualifies as “better” with lupus).? It can’t be easy, but there’s a whole bunch of us pullin’ & prayin’ for him…
Rest up this w/e, Jim, if you plan on hitting the airwaves on Monday.? Great ed piece on Fox…especially asking employers to understand and support their employees with lupus.? And many thanks to TIC for sticking by you.
Can’t wait for you to come back! 🙂
Heartbroken to hear of the severity of this most recent flare, Jim :(((? You are so dear to so many of us who count on your tremendous and comprehensive show.? Very glad to know you’ll be back – please know you remain fully-engulfed in prayers!? Blessings and love, SM
Thanks for speaking out, Jim!?? I used to think my Sound Off Withdrawal syndrome was bad, but you have it worse.? Our prayers are with you!
Jim, always striving to inform rather than make it about yourself, and with such a positive attitude. You sir are a role model. God bless!
hope my prayers helped//hear you on monday??
very informative interview. WTG Jim/Steve
Oh Jim… I wanted to do my “Snoopy” dance when I heard you were coming back on Monday…(big thanks to the Pastor for filling in)…but when I saw this clip??? I had no clue how bad Lupus could be!? Godspeed Jim…Please..take care of YOU!?
Jim, I’m praying for you…… now, where can I donate for a cure to this terrible disease??
It WAS a very informative interview. Most people don’t have a clue about lupus and about how debilitating a flare up can be.
….and she hopes you continue to get better!
Thanks for sharing the video. I am a nurse and am aware of Lupus and know several people who have it. I have Rheumatiod Arthritis, another autoimmune disease, that as you are probably aware attacks joints. In fact my Rheumatologist is Melinda Ramsby, who was mentioned in the video. She is a fantastic doctor.
I wish you all the best and hope that for your sake and mine they find out more about these strange autoimmune diseases and how to better treat them.?
Feel better, I’ll?remember you in my prayers. Cheryl??
Great interview.? And, whatever attacked your brain obviously had to beat a strategic retreat because your faculties sound more than excellent :)/
It’s amazing to see Jim smiling in the face of adversity.? He probably laughed too- but no responsible editor would let that through 🙂
My prayers to Mr. Vicevich.? I hope he’s not in too much pain.? The interview revealed allot to us and his bravery.?
?
Jim glad you are doing better.
Awful disease. Praying for you.
And p.s. You?DO look?good!! 😉
You know, Jim, that first day you weren’t on the air,? I thought uh oh, I hope everything’s all right. As the days went by, and no Jim on the air, I figured it was bad, because you don’t miss your show this long for anything.
Thankful you’ve improved. Thanks for sharing the info.
Keeping you in my prayers.
P. S. Nice haircut.
First Of All, Welcome Back Jim Today To The Earth Radio Airwaves!!!!
Second, THANK-YOU Steve in shout-out for the posting of this video. I was not able to watch on tv this presentation so I could get the chance to watch the video here.
Third, as always, my prayers and support for you Jim. God Bless And Keep You Jim. :)=^..^=?
Jim, I hope you find some long term relief for your illness. Welcome back. Hope today’s show is rocking.
Welcome back. glad you are doing better.
Jim, I am so happy that you are back. I prayed for you?and? looks like God listened. I love you brother, and I will always pray for you.??Jim? may God bless you always, RJ.?
So good hearing your voice on WTIC this morning Mr. Vicevich!!!? Please …take it easy …pace yourself …no Chris Matthews “over-board” …LOL
?
Thank you for your strength and dedication.
I was so glad to hear your voice today – that same strong purposeful voice that keeps so many of us afloat in this sea of blue.? You have and will continue to be in my prayers.
Glad you’re back!? A pox on Lupus, let’s hope you’ve escaped it’s wrath now, once and for all. Pull harder, Jim. Ok I’m kidding work from 9 AM til noon and then siesta.?
I will pray for your good health and the wisdom and skill of your medical team. ?You poured yourself into getting us through the storm, Jim, and all the while I held some concern whether you should be working so hard to help us. ?We are blessed to have you in our lives as you do us such service. ?On day-one of your absence, I got a bad feeling that your Lupus had flared.? Because I’ve respected your informative work from the day I first caught your economics report on Channel 3, then 30, then 24, then TIC 1080, to me, you’re right up there with the great Bob Steele.???Thank you for your grace in sharing with the public about Lupus to help us appreciate what you and others endure. ?Blessings.
All of us loyal friends want you to have someone fill in at 11:00. Mike Walsh? Mika B, HA . Ray D?
