Guest guest Posted August 7, 1999 Report Share Posted August 7, 1999 Tina, you have just reenforced a thought that I have been having for a couple of week now. I feel like junking all my meds and starting again. Would it get me the use of my legs back would I improve on my forgetfulness would I be able to swallow food and not just mush. I take 14 pills a day and I am sick of it. I just want a little more " normal " life. I am seeing my gp-Ithink you call it your primary care doctor= tomorrow and I will see what he thinks. My gastro wants me to lose 40kg. to help with the reflux problem and itwould probably help with my bladder problem for which I am waiting for surgery. sorry to dump on you but I feel if I don't do something soon I am going to lose any control over my life that I have at all.
