Bonnie, Don't you worry about us. Just take care of yourself and get better. Get those Docs to straighten out your meds and get to the bottom of this. You need to be there for YOU and you deserve the best for yourself. You add such a special touch to this board and I know everyone is rooting for ya. STAY STRONG !!! Stacey

Bonnie, gather up all of the medications that you are currently taking and put them in a bag and take them all to your pharmacist. He can go thru all of them and make sure there's no drug interactions or timing problems with them and he can put you on a set schedule where you're getting the optimum performance from each medication. Debbie's right, and I'm kicking myself because I didn't think of that sooner. Drug interactions can be a bad thing and the pharmacist has a complete database of all drug interactions.

Bonnie, Hugs girlfriend! You need them. Do yourself a favor call the Dr. I think the meds are affecting more than the physical problems. I will be praying for you to get better soon.

Hi Bonnie, I'm so sorry that you're having all these difficulties. I wish I could just make everything better for you. Do you think you need to seek a second opinion from someone else? I know Dr. Irgau is great, but sometimes doctors have trouble admitting that they don't know everything. It might help to get a fresh perspective on the problem. I'm just as confused as you are as to why now - why didn't these problems surface earlier? I know it's not much, but Bonnie, me and lots of other folks are praying for you, and as frustrating as it, try to hang in there and believe everything will work out. Your friends are all pulling for you!!!!!
