Thank you for opening our eyes to something new that most of us didn't even know existed. We all appreciated hearing your story and are so happy for you that it worked out as well as it has.

Nonetheless, I definitely have had less side effects as the yrs. have progressed--the benefit of new drugs :) Best wishes!
