[Tony May]

Thank you Heather.  Do you use any kind of support cane to help if it comes on unexpectedly?

Take care,  
Tony

I have been self medicating with Dramamine which most people use for saling. Some times it works. I also purchased air purifiers for each room, it sometimes helps too. I become a waterbuffalo so it helps too. If I find an attack about to happen, I just sit down till it passes. Cheers Heather
