Yeah, well, me too. I didn't wait around this time after having almost 
killed myself twice by "toughing it out". Glad I didn't wait.

That's what Becky, the PA, said. And it makes sense. Once it was 
explained rather than me trying to parse the instructions whilst still 
in fairly severe discomfort.

I mentioned that and was recommended Metamucil and/or Citracel. 'Druther 
do natural stuff instead of flavoured sawdust. So, I'm off to Food 
Fantasies next week (after I'm off the antibiotics and supposedly healed 
up) to see what is available/recommended in the way of natural healing 
products.
