Hi, Bobby,

I think one of my problems is that I loathe taking pills.  They're not hard
for me to swallow, I just don't like taking a lot of pills.  The
anti-spastic medication I'm presently taking is Dantrium, and it makes me
sleepy, so I only take it at night.

My job as a systems analyst for the HR department where I work requires a
high degree of mental reasoning and problem-solving, so I need to be alert.
Unfortunately at times I'm fatigued, so it becomes difficult.  I had a
physical exam last month which showed nothing wrong with me, so I am trying
to find alternative treatments. If Carla's recommendations make sense, I'll
discuss them with my doctor, and see what she says.

Sounds like you've got quite a family there!  How do your son and
daughter-in-law like living in Charlotte?  I live in Winston-Salem, which is
not too far.


        Kathy
