Wendy,
Thank you so very much for responding, it was very helpful to hear about why the
anxiety meds are given to costo patients. I have never taken them but I do take
vitamins to help with anxiety. I am happy that you mentioned the magnesium
because I do happen to have calcium-magnesium because I was told it would help
with pain. Also, I haven't been wearing a bra since Jan [as long as I don't have
to] because I find that it does trigger the costo. So I was just wondering if
anyone else had the same problem with the bra. SO again, your advice/info was
very helpful. I really appreciate your response. Thank you so much!
Lacy
