I haven't been to the doctor in years either. I will have to get to the dentist eventually but that's beside the point. I refuse to get on the merry-go-round of pills. I try to eat healthy. I could (and should) exercise more. I fight depression with meditating, walking and writing. I even told my husband that I don't want to be on that vicious cycle of one medicine offsetting the side effects of another. No thank you! Please give your friend Bob my best. I pray he gains his health again.
