My dear Tracy,

I continue to follow your journey. You, my friend, are one of the bravest, strongest people I have ever known. Your insights and willingness to share them have helped so many on this board as well as the other.

I am sorry you are having such difficulty with medications. This whole struggle with the "right medications" seems so unfair and draining. With Mother, I, too, relied on the pharmacist much more than the doctors, who usually weren't as up-to-date or as educated in pharmacology. Continue with your persistent questioning so your doctor will be better able to help you.

By the way, I have tried numerous times to write you a poem but my words have always seemed too inadequate for what I want to say, what I feel in my heart. It is entitled "Because," which I took from one of your posts. I will complete it, sooner rather than later, and it will be my gift of admiration to you.

My thoughts, love and prayers are with you,

Joyce
