It is nice to find 'open' minds here. I'm grateful I posted my question, if only for the support. I get so tired of having to explain and fight for my right to take what helps. Currently going up against it right now, which I why I need to have good documentation in place. My pdoc prescribes what works - I know I'm lucky to have found him. But there are others who would prefer to control that. I'll learn soon enough how much 'they' can get away with.. sigh
