Thank you very much, Lotus, for the updated information on cimetidine- something I'm interested in since I have GERD; I've just been taking a low OTC dose in the evenings along with my omeprazole in the mornings, as I've found literature that says a PPI/H2 blocker combo taken like that does a really good job with keeping the acid under control. The studies were of various other '-dines' but cimetidine is my choice for obvious reasons. Not sure I understand most of what you posted, but I sure do appreciate it. Seems as if I don't care about function down under (wouldn't be the end of the world) or take other meds that could interact (I don't) and don't get confused from being old, then I'm good with the stuff.
Read back along this thread- first off those photos were fabulous! But more importantly you have my prayers, I hope they can do something to slow/stop the white matter business, and hoping for the leukemia to get wiped out. My dad had some less common form of leukemia, and they managed to cure (not remission, cure, gone undetectable come back in couple years) it with some sort of gene therapy that was administered rather like chemo is administered via IV, with side effects darn near as nasty, but it knocked the stuff out. The stuff is beatable. Many good thoughts your way, and thank you for everything you do here! Don't think anyone can be put out if you don't feel up to the forums at times, but it's clear you're fretted over and missed when you are absent. Get well!
