You guys aren't alone Beth...I've had scary thoughts relating to health issues in the past too, but a-d's sorted me out...that's why I was pushing them so much to Lynx! Although they did nada to my IBS, getting on a good a-d made me feel that I could cope so much easier with everything I was dealing with...and they still do. With my Fibro I'll probably be on a-d's for the rest of my life and I'm happy with that!
