BTW, the 5 months on the HD ABs was due to the incompetence of an ENT doc. After a prescription was almost gone, his office told me to get one from my GP. My GP spoke poor English and had only trained and worked in La Belle Province and Louisiana. When he saw what it was and the 3 times daily triple dosage, he frightened me. He said, "Non non non... this will kill ahhhh... how do you say en Anglais, cheval?" I took to laughing. He said, "Non non non... I treated a girl in US for a year from this. She almost died and she had much smaller than this." Yup, kinda put me off my laughter.

Of course, a war began between the ENT and my GP. The ENT was right about the ABs but got everything else wrong. Once, it was rather serious.
