Laura,
I sent in my two cents worth to Montel. I encourage
others to do the same. We need to educate the medical
& regular community that we are suffering. The more of
us who send in our stories the more we will be taken
seriously. I'm sick & tired of being treated like a
nut!
Take Care,
Rita in AZ
