Dan:

Donnt wory bout speling--itz nevah bodered me.

Let me know how the cessation of the antihistamines works out. All I can say
is for ME it made a WORLD of difference. I get a lot of sinus problems and
it is frustrating not to have that in my arsenal. Also, I get major back
problems and many of the muscle relaxers (mostly flexeril) are no-no's. Very
frustrating!!!

I am one of the few it seems that has had EXCELLENT EXCELLENT results with
flomax (meaning great results and virtually no side effects!).
