Wow.... sounds like you have a busy weekend. I really hope you enjoy it..... you deserve a little....(hmmm... a lot) of mental relaxation. I'm really sorry the med's didn't work out for you.. but enjoy the upside($).... and hopefully your pdoc will get you on a super wonderful cocktail that'll work for ya. Are you on anything right now????? Again, I'm sorry for your dissapointed.. but you had to try, and you did. Can I ask... what kind of side effects did you experience? Pretty much the normal ones?

Thanks for the compliment. I was trying to think of a way to describe the pain(that's supposedly going to be chronic)... I guess it would be like the way you feel after an incredibly intense workout the next day or two. Major muscle ache!! Closest I can really think of to relay.

That sounds wonderful!!! Good for you..... I am going to definately need to learn how to invest when my *settlement* finally comes. Keep at it.
