I'm glad i'm through with the treatment.
This is not the first time i have suspected
that there's real chaos in the drug world.
Frankly, i'm tired of monitoring my drugs
for 25 yrs. -- it's hard research work
and you can never be sure -- as i said,
it's a crapshoot. Right now, i am very
concerned about a friend of mine taking
Warfarin for no good reason, imho. I am
afraid that many people i have known who
have died, have died because of adverse reaction.And i don't blame the doctors who are overwhelmed;
i think the problem is TOO MANY drugs to examine and choose from.Squiggles
