Dear Ellen: Thank you for your information about the back aches. It all seems to fit with what I remember. I also have the cramps, mostly in my toes. I try to excercise and my toes are laying over. Ouch. It is so strange that we can come up with most of the same symptoms. I can check here until I find the doctor. I am sorry about your dog and the meds. If I ever give meds to my dogs all I have to do is throw them. They are caught in mid-air. They have eaten loaves of bread, buns, yogurt, candy, yes even chocolate. I sleep walk and the other morning I got up and found the bag of corn on the cob on the floor in the kitchen. Partially eaten. I must have laid it out and never finished what I was doing. They are wonderful little companions. Then the overweight cats, Fred, red male tiger at a #26-28 lbs and Ethyl, black smooth coat female #22 lbs. They seem to suspect something with me, as they follow me everywhere and wait until the next room. Well, thanks again. I like being able to trade info with each other. Gina 47/7 mos
