Update: i started on two pills twice a day, but that was a little too much. The doctor reduced it by half and I am doing so much better. I am no longer afraid to leave the house. God bless thaat...
I am just about to start the pills. The doctor told me they are big. I said I swallowed the camera pill, and he said they’re not that big. I am reading good things about treatment for bile...

I am blown away to see all of you again. Sorry to hear of ongoing struggles, and keeping you in my prayers. How are you faring during social distancing? What I miss most is holding babies and reading...
