Good luck with it all. If you do have it and you get it diagnosed, at least you will have access to potential treatment pathways. :)

Yeah and I've had to change my script because I take 50mg a day and no one has got 30mg pills so I have to have 5x10 mg pills a day. So they could only give me 64 pills the other day and they ow me 86. It's ridiculous.

My doc wouldn't prescribe it anymore because my blood pressure was a bit on the high side. It didn't help much anyway.

Well apparently they're not prescribing it anyone who is newly diagnosed now because there's not enough for the likes of me. I've need using it for about 15 years.
