Re: Ruth - doctors

[Guest guest]

carole, hang on in there, my " virus " lasted 9 years. the longest lasting " virus "

known to man. bit because of it thy have me on 60mgs prozac in the morning and

150mgs amytriptalene at night. like you say, they made me deppresses (doctors)

they should all carry a government mental health warning. keep you spirits (not

the bottled variety) up and between us all, we will prove them wrong.

love
