DTDT too, but then even in the end I never went with anything that wasn't
over the counter.

And that's the odd thing about Miss P.  For a child with so many things
wrong with her, she's rarely taken oral prescription drugs, except for
antibiotics for her frequent ear infections.  At least as an out patient.
And that's why most of our really disastrous reactions, the exception being
the one to Sulfa, all took place inside a hospital.  I don't have as much
say there about what they give her.

trouble...and >a lot more scary :o(
>I didn't realize that Devon's reactions to things were similar to Ms. P's??

That just means that he too has had reactions to at least one drug that
wasn't what the doctor expected it to be.  And that his was to another
supposedly calmer downer type drug is what especially caught my attention.


Plus what scares the bejeezers out of me about Strattera, is the
contraindication in the literature for "certain heart and blood vessel
disorders",

And that's the bottom line, time.  But yes those 2 Moon scopes come packaged
with the 2 Sun ones I subscribe to, so they're still available on the
website. I just hadn't even listened to my own Moon for eons, let alone
transcribe either of them.  But since we've got a lunar eclipse coming up on
the 3rd, I'd been thinking about checking them out again, so will send it to
you off list.
I consider it cheap compensation for Devon's services here.

Position your 2 index fingers horizontally in front of your chest pointing
at each other.  Then move them repeatedly away and toward each other.

Remind me then next time I see you...lol

Want to come do mine?  Naw, now that would be above and beyond...

Sure does!  So yummy in fact that I ended up passing on the chicken I had
planned for dinner last night, and stopped by Rubio's on the way home from
bowling league to pick up some of their mesquite grilled shrimp burritos
instead.  Philina says, "Thank you".  She didn't leave anything except a
little flavored plate for the cats, who believe that anything in the sink
rightfully belongs to them.
