Therese,

Who came up with the diagnosis is a tie. I know that prednosone is the treatment and that it will work immediately. The problem is I am pre diabetic and taking prednosone will push me over the edge.

Laura, you also are right. The doctor who diagnosed me suggested it may have been aggravated by taking Clonazapan and Valiem together at the same time. I will have to wait until Monday for my blood test results to decide how to proceed.

In the meantime I have been reading a book called "Suffering in Slow Motion" by Pamela and Richard Kennedy which is about a family chaged by the father diagnosed with Frontal-Temporal Dementia in the prime of his life. The book is written by all the family members. Athiests or others not of the Christian may not enjoy this book.

I love his defention of courage, "Courage is fear that has said it's prayers."
