Dont let it worry you Bridget, because I'm pretty sure that when you finish with the Dex, you will return to your former glory. (dont get rid of the bikini just yet!). Cecilia, as with David, also piled on the weight, but now that she is off the Dex for the past 2 weeks,she is already slimming down. Mind you, her appetite has increased, but this…[Read more]

Hi Min,
I'm so glad that Peter feels a good deal better after a good sleep. Like you, I am convinced that the Valcade, although very good, causes a lot of other problems. Go on and get him the tank (you can always threaten him with it if/when he becomes canTANKerous again!!

Hello Fiona and may I be the first to welcome to this great site Just like you I had lurked for quite a while before I ventured into posting (a bit like being afraid to step into the water!). I,m sure you have now found, as I have, that there are many wonderful, supportive and friendly people here. There seems to be a common human, caring and…[Read more]
