I had to self-catheterize myself just to get to the hospital where a more permanet catheter was installed until that new drug was out of my system. Ace says he got the old formulation at Link so I thought I'd give them a try.

At first I thought this was possible, but here's what I believe was the cause for the mix-up: Link has not made a change to their Nardil formula because they've been making something that was different from ours _all along_. Ace has never seen what we describe as our 'old formula', being in Australia, but I am pretty positive that what I received from xxx is the same stuff that Ace has been taking all along. It just doesn't make sense any other way. However, if Link in Australia is somehow making something different from Link Europe, and it is identical to our good old Nardil, I am flying to Australia every six months, if that's what it takes, to get mine. I suppose its worth looking into, Dave, considering the stakes. I would just be really surprised.
BTW, this is your pal Tammy from anxietyhelp.org, in case you didn't know that ;)
