You have to keep your sense of humor with this stuff. >> Hey Short Stuff and Jackie: We are family and I care about you and don't want you to suffer, but, as you know s**t happens! With all I've heard about this thing from others I'm sure doctors will be forced to do more research in efforts to help patients. Giving out valium was so prevalent here in CA for a number of years. As Pat said, it sure didn't do the job on her ankle! When my Daddy died the doctor put my mother on valium and she got hooked! I called him and said if he renewed her prescription he would have ME to face! He didn't want that and I would have gone to San Jose to face him! He got her off it and that was one more thing I don't have to worry about! Sandi
