Hi Carl.
I agree with Linda's post. Get mad. Get damn mad. Go be a pest at your doc's until they give you what you need. They've got lots of samples in their offices. GET SOME.
As far as the water goes, I think the secret is drinking enough of it for a long enough period. For some people it works right away, for others it takes longer. Mike says drink till you pee, then drink some more. Linda B. is drinking two gallons a day. Bob Kipple beat his cycle in three days this time. I know patience is a precious commodity these days for you but we have seen some really positive results from people that stick with it and drink enough water. Mike has tried everything else, quitting smoking - you name it and the ONLY thing that has ever worked is the water. You think I'm a pain in the ass about it....you should meet my husband! Just ask Elaine. I'm sure she's saying "Yes, Mike, I'm drinking my water" now in her sleep. Also, he's religious about taking his multivitamins. We all know how hard it is to eat when you're under attack and it's important to get those minerals and vitamins into your system, especially when you are adding the chemicals from the drugs.
Hang in there, buddy, we need you here. Your anger is healthy and we can put you to work for O.U.C.H. You can just go pound the idea down your doc's throat until he/she listens. Also, you have a great writing ability. I'm sure if lcbob hadn't come up with the Symphony for a Devil, you would have. Why not think about writing for our newsletter or just something for the brochure. You have a talent, mister. Don't waste it.
Hugs
