I have had several attacks of stomach upset, which for me is fairly uncommon. All other of my meds have been ruled out and I was placed on Soma last monday and the upset subsided. I am to start up the "new" stuff again coming monday and have been told to take a mild anti-acid every am and pm as a rule and dont wait for discomfort to start. This side effect is not felt to be a stumbling block if in fact it is found to be common. What realy gets me is that we dont know who is in fact in this study and we have been asked not to seek each other out and discuss the medication. Well by now you must have read that MacDill was left on the list for posible closure at a future date. The head of the congressional subcom. is due at MacDill on Monday to review and make further remarks on the Base's status for the future. This wont hurt me alot, if they close it, I will recieve my medical treatment at a local hosp. and go to Homestead AFB, Homestead, Fla for checkups 4 time ayear. Using I-75 which is 1/4 mile from my home, I can get to Homestead in about 3 hours, that realy sailing, but we find that it is rare to get stopped heading south on I-75 and my tag on the car shows that I am retired military so we never get stopped and if we do, we are issued a warning, thats all. When and if closure is set, I will place my home on the market and move back to Texas, so I can get treatment and benifits at Ft Hood. The benifits are a major part of my income and for me come to about 10,000 ayear, including dependant care, dental care, eye exams and food , clothing and other purchases. My land that I own In Killeen, Tx is only a short trip into Hood and we would shop more and save alot more. I wont have a problem selling here in Sarasota, but I do feel sorry for the military near MacDill, there will be so many homes on the market, it is posible tM3 tha that the area will lose about 30% of its population. bought a small boat for lake fishing, gat go in gulf much, chop to hard on the back, lake here are small, sheltered and calm. later Girl Sarasota Fred -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!137!10.0!Fred.Kreitzer Internet: Fred.Kreitzer@p0.f10.n137.z1.fidonet.org
