Is there a doctor in the house?

If *only* we had someone around here with a medical degree -- a
board-certified *doctor*, as you put it -- who could give us the lowdown.

I may only be a "doctah", but I know that NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen
(Motrin and Advil) and naproxen (Aleve and Naprosyn)...acetominophen (Tylenol),
known to Brits as paracetamol, is not an NSAID because it doesn't reduce
inflammation, coincidentally making it useless for my recurrent back pain....r

Glad you're feeling a bit better, Greg, and Caldonia is certainly
a cute cat. In the fall of 2006, I went to the ER four times with
severe vomiting, coffee-grounds type and all, it took them four
times to correctly diagnose me with gastroperesis; now I take
just two pills a day for it and everything's fine.

Hope your doctors figure out everything for you sooner.
Have you had all the tests done?
