such good advice Vic as usual.
i would say that i agree with the 'what outweighs what' theory but i am always so cautious with meds. as a nurse i have the greatest of respect for these poisons. they are not part of our normal makeup and the body knows that. and i always say we have to watch for any changes that we have, and to always suspect the poisons as the problem. it is so hard to find what works for each of us. with rsd there are no easy answers. no one is the same, or reacts the same, to these meds. mood swings are normal in children, and they are normal with people in constant pain, and people who have lost a piece of their life. but i sent the info because if the swing goes too far and is too out of Ali's norm, the poisin should be considered the culprit, and doctors notified. joan
