Hey Aus!
I believe that the brain power on this site will help you find a way to do the Tykerb and still have good QOL! I think Brenda is the master of Tykerb QOL, but others will have ideas for you too. I think that this site is so much smarter than the side effects and mets that attack us. Get all these brain cells crackin' and magic occurs.
Don't give in to that awful stuff girl. Believe that help is on the way for you.
If Kurt Warner can get to the super bowl, you can defeat those mets and still have good QOL.
I'm believin' and prayin' for ya! ma
