Tim- you'd be surprised at what they can do now medication-wise. We're not tied down to just three drugs anymore. I'm actually doing well at the moment, which is remarkable since I have some genuine things to be depressed about at the moment.

Red Snyper- you might try shifting to one of the flavored mineral water products out there. You have to be careful that you aren't getting some 'cocktail of chemicals that look good for you because it's clear', but the actual water. I drink some called La Croix. Comes in cans, in a case, and it's carbonated water with a light flavoring to it (I like the lemon or the lime). No sugar, no calories. But it has the mouth feel of soda, which is what I want. And I drink a lot of it, so I'm getting more water.

I don't get out much this time of year- it's pollen season, and it's starting up with a roar. :-P
