Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 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.
