Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 Hi Rach, you should definitely let your doctor know about your previous experience. He will want to put you on something for preventative measures. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P.<A HREF= " apapararo@...
