Hi Todd - Hope JC is better than God!
My toughts are with you.

I have been in a start up mode with start kit of Serzone. I upped my dosage to 100mg twice a day 5 days ago. Horrible side effects. Extreme dizziness, pupils the size of pin heads, inability to concentrate. And my all time favorite.... Irritability.

> Yesterday, being Monday, I called God and told him about my problem and that I thought this was becoming pretty serious. "No problem," said God, "we'll just cut your morning dose in half and keep your night dose the same". "But God, I am a mess, my chest pounds, the dizziness, the pupils, the inability to concentrate." "Trust me", said God.

> It was really enjoyable to spend 4 1/2 hours at the emergency room last night. I am in such a habit of doing so. I'm a regular there, why just 5 years ago, I came in the most recent time because of kidney stones..... Funny, the ER doc says discontinue the medicine, the pharmacist says to discontinue the medicine. But God, almighty says no, "trust me".

> This morning I called to talk with God. Of course since I wasn't there in person to be a billable hour for him, God was rushed and didn't have time for me. When he finally did manage, God apparently was able to see me through the telephone because God didn't ask how I felt or if I was better. No, God did some major backpedaling. He didn't know about the FDA approval study where 16% of patients in the trial, about 70 of 5340 quit because of SIDE EFFECT issues, but more importantly God said he knew better since he had in house clinical experience with the medication with patients. Wow, he truly is God.

> I informed God during at the end of our little conversation he allowed me to have with him that his services would no longer be needed. You see, I shopped and found another, let's just call him Jesus Christ or JC for short. I see JC tomorrow and look with great anticipation for him to peer into his crystal ball and find the magic pill(s) for me to take. My only regret is that God said he knows and has worked with JC. What a bummer. God truly does work in mysterious ways.
