5mg Cortef/50mgACE 3 times a day so a total each day of 15mg Cortef

and 150mg ACE.

Yes. Today, on the way to my mom's (mothers day), I got pulled over

by a cop and when he didn't give me a speeding ticket (I was well

over the limit!) I said thank you so much and then suddenly blurted

out " this is the nicest thing that's happened to me since I moved to

Oregon " and just starting sobbing. I kid you not. And let me tell

you: I. Never. Cry. I just don't cry and I realized that, again, I'm

just crazy over-wrought and holding stuff back and so, yeah, I'm

definitely going to slow down and be careful not to overdo. sheesh

Maybe we can get a group rate at a clinic???

Wow Jackie. Thanks for reminding me. I'm JUST 3 months post-amalgam-

removal (I did the arithmetic wrong before) and you're right about

everything of course.

And.......that's the nicest thing anybody's.... <sob sob>
