Sue ann,
The drs have used Interceed on me, but are talkig now about seprafilm,
if I cannot wait for Intergel. The drs are wanting to wait if possible
for intergel, seeing hopefully it works better. They keepsaying that
seprafilm still, like Interceed there are no guarantees, and they are
hoping like me, that one will be available soon, where the drs at least
know it may work. When was intergel use, sue an, how long after
surgery, and It sounds you are feeling better.
Are you in the us? I know it is being usded elsewhere. Looking forward
to this.
