I am with you....it is time for a deep breath, some rest in the hospital and some ANSWERS. Please tell Joy to fight as there is an answer.

It was only a couple of days ago that she was able to get the constipation issue resolved. That has to make you week. OK...one issue resolved. Now...on to the next one. The CT will certainly provide further insights.

I was on another site and one of the women there took a break from drugs for a couple of weeks to regain their strength. Could Joy take a break, possibly investigate a non-chemical alternative?

Please let Joy know that her Colorado sister is cheering for her...jumping up and down.
