I've been PMing with Candy about this as I've been where she is in dealing with a chronic illness.

We have a similar blood disease and I was trying to help, not hurt.

We share a lot of the same fears, concerns and obsessions. I know exactly where she's coming from and I hope I've been helpful.

The info I gave her was not meant to scare her and I'm sorry if it came across that way.

But the very meds she was going to ask her Pdoc to increase could have serious side effects that could harm her and I just wanted her to be aware.

I wanted to make sure she checked it out with her Dr.'s. before they upped the doseage. I would feel awful if I didn't tell her and she ended up back in the hospital.

Kimmy was kind enough to delete my post as I didn't want to offend anyone.

I apologize.
