The dr's are responsible for talking about IPIR's.

Now my stepmom was looking at my info one night. She noticed it{Copaxone} contains mannitol. That's supposed to slow the release of the meds through the kidneys??
My dad is a Nurse Anesthetist. When he saw that C contains mannitol, he had to tell me about all the uses for mannitol...something about it opening the blood brain barrier, and it also is used to lower intercranial pressures.

If they wanted me to read all that information, they could have done a better job of using larger print, maybe add a little white space to it (hit enter a few times so there's a break in the paragraphs more often)

I guess I'll be making an appointment to get my thyroid checked. Anyone else know of any other things I should have tested while I'm at it???
