Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Thanks for your post. I am always dubious about me giving medical info ,even in that form as I am NOT a clinician. Your great to clarify it to me. Also nice to hear what your doc said too. It was sent to me thru the Boomer Easion newsletter. They send out each day. the info comes from folks from all over the world. I love reading it . Thanks again for your help ......always LOVE & HUGS, grandmoMBEV Lenora - Re: FW: GrandMomBev Bev, Don't worry, this information is public it was published on the New England Journal at the beginning of the month.
