Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 June and All- I'll repeat what I said before in my other emails...If you need to take a medication and it makes you feel better then by all means do so. We're not all alike, and I'm not trying to impose my belief systems or what works for me on anyone! We all need to do what we need to do to make ourselves be the best we can be. I AM NOT SAYING TO ANYONE not to take the meds that you need!! PLEASE do NOT misunderstand me! If you need your meds by all means take them!! I am very happy that you have something that makes you able to function! I would do the same myself if that's what I had to do! What I WAS saying was to BE CAREFUL AND DO ALL YOUR RESEARCH with whatever meds or treatment you take. God Bless June...
