You're right about one thing, we all need to be pro-active when taking meds. I remember mom telling about being sick when she was expecting my twin sisters. She was on complete bed rest and the doctor came to the house every other day to give her a shot. When I asked what it was that he gave her she said, "I have no idea, he was the doctor and I trusted him." (that was back in the Thalidimide (sp?) days) In today's day and age we had better know not to do that. I'm not offended nor bothered by your statement. In fact, it makes me happy to know that you don't have to go through it. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
