Thanks, Thone. That's what I was wondering about. I've only been read
the boards for a couple of days, and I'm seeing so many different herbs
and medications....I have no idea what to take, what mixes/doesn't mix
with what, etc. I just hate to be so desperate that I start taking
everything I can get my hands on! lol
