    Food and transportation were helpful. Also since was not up doing housework doing those tasks as well was helpful.

    I would simply like to have more info on side effects. My trust in the medical community is already low and when I hear doctors minimize my concerns I can’t stand it. Yeah, you have an MD, but I know my body better. And I am the one who has to live with whatever happens to me.
