Well I guess its a good thing I asked. Its good to know Im not the only
one having problems with these pills...Ive been to 3 or 4 specialist who
have told me that they should be working and to continue waiting til it
takes effect...I have tried so many different ones that dont help and Im
getting tired of taking them...Well I dont have an appointment til july
26 but I guess I shall call the doctor tomorrow and let him know they
still arent working and to try something else...he told me before that
if it doesnt work this time, I gotta go back in for more surgery...so I
guess thats my next step....thank you for the advice and hope you find
some relief too. Good luck to you Valerie with the surgery..hope they
can help you...
Take Care and God Bless
