[Viva] new meds

[shelly tognazzini]

Dear Val,
Oh my gosh, thank-you so much.  I will be doing blood work next week and
see how it goes. Yesterday I literally had to stay in just to be close to
the bathroom.  And sleep has been off as well, although it's never been
great it is noticeably changed.

Thanks so much Val! I really appreciate your sharing! Great work you've
been doing girl. Big hugs
Shelly
