It is nice to hear from someone out there. I hate flu season. Do you have
the dex injection kit - so do you just wait until the hospital gives it? I
have solu-cortef injections kits. I guess because it can be kept a long time
and it milder than the dex. But I wish the doctors would give the dex
because it is stronger. I live in Washington DC area. Where do you live?
