Increase your Fish/Salmon oil or flaxseed oil. That stopped my need for any drops. Bless you, Karen
vaccines

general vaccine question
Hi group! I saw my rheum today and, duh, forgot to ask her about my DTaP. I am due for a booster. I vividly remember that my last dose was in 8/99 when I joined the Navy. Does anyone know how this works with the biologics? I thought I’d try to get the skinny before [...]
