Denise,

        I'm so happy you found Dr. Brody, especially after your encounter with
that jerk! It sounds like Brody knows what he's doing. I would be very
careful coming off the pain killers. Taper off if you can. Also, if you
stay on Ativan very long, be very careful coming off that stuff. It's got a
very long half life.
        It is also interesting what Brody said about the MRI. I had never
thought about that way.

        Well, take care and get better.

Bobby
