Re: seeing the vascular dr

[Guest guest]

Hi Betty,

I'm so glad you had such a positive experience with the vascular

surgeon! I'm not sure it has to do with " being a specialst " as much

as the person 'inside the title'. Do you know what I mean? Being

open enough to consider every possibility, etc. Anyway, I'm sure

glad he's taking everything seriously and giving ideas that will

hopefully prevent some issues.

Also, I'm so glad you had a moving experience with the medium! I'm

so very glad! I would love to hear more about it - would you write

me at EDSLana@... and let me know some particulars? If you

remember, I'm the one who had a reading with . I'm happy

you got some confirmation! Thanks for sharing it. For me, I don't

expect anyone to accept all of it blindly - that would be ignorant

and leave yourself open to vulnerability - BUT, as you said, just to

have an open mind, and accept the POSSIBILITY that this can happen.

Take care of you and yours!

Love Lana

Hi

The drug is doxycycline (part of the tetracycline family). I started taking

it a couple of days ago. I haven't had any side effects so far. I haven't

taken the Udos oil yet, I am not quite sure about that. We'll see how that

goes.

Thanks

Betty
