Sounds like symptoms of Vodka to me.

Also, I need to do the Moderator thing and remind your good selves of James' Forum Decorum:

'The forum is not for medical advice Please consult your physician or GP'

(Yes, in case you mention it, I did read the enquirer did so later on)

I've been trying to figure out a way to make a living in PDC. Maybe I should open a little shack in PAMUUL. What is the penalty for practicing medicine without a license in Mexico?

No xrays, just a little poking, proding and measuring , I'm fine.
Thanks .
I asked about the spleen and she said it was up higher and I would have known if it had been that.

Gee Frank, most of that actually happened to me the one time we went to "senor frogs", the next day I felt like I DID die.

It would be an unusual side effect, unless you are referring becoming impatient waiting for it to work. In which case it is something EVERYONE complains about. If this is the case, I will give you the same advice I give my own patients ....

Quit your whining and take the pills ... some of the other people around hear are dying to see me.
