Hi Laura...thie last post I saw dated 8/3/03 you mentioned still having problems after 6 weeks. I hope that by now you are feeling better and on the road to recovery. I'm sure this has been hard for you, but try not to lose hope. I don't know much about the DS, but this doesn't sound like it should be normal. Have you spoken w/ your doctor about it? Whatever the case, I wish you well in the coming weeks and do pray that things will get better for you. Keep us posted, we will want to hear. Barbara
