Hey Don, ever tried melatonin? I used to have BAD insomnia and tried a number of prescription sleep aids, none of which worked and left me useless the next day (more useless than usual). Then I gave melatonin a shot. Worked great and no "hangover" feeling the next day. You can pick it up at any local big chain drug store in the vitamins section. I use a 3 mg tablet and it's perfect. Saw the oncologist yesterday and I STILL have no diagnosis. Based on the information that has been gathered thus far, they can't identify the unique strain of lymphoma that I may have. There just isn't enough solid information. So, they're going to take another somewhat larger biopsy from the bump on my forehead (which has become progressively larger) and try that. If that still doesn't do it, they have to go into my neck and remove one of the lymph nodes that are swollen. That's a surgery I'm definitely not looking forward to. Oh well, gotta' do what I gotta' do. Needed a mood lifter this morning, so I drove the Vette to work. It's cool and cloudy outside, and it'll probably get rained on, but so what. Only a few weeks of the driving season left, so gotta' enjoy it while we can. Man, I just LOVE driving that thing! Have a good one Gurus! Ron |
