I wouldn't worry, I've been reading a lot longer than I've been posting, and you can usually find the puzzling posts eventually explained in layman's terms (i.e., how will this or that drug or drug combination make you FEEL?), if not in response to your own inquiry then to someone else's. No, the arrogant intellectuals aren't to be found here, but they're often found among the doctors who are treating us. That's what you should watch for.
