Comment:
my intestins became so swollen with bile that i spent 4 days with double-up stool softener just to relieve the major pain. i do not recomend this for people with fibromyalgia. my stomach already had stretch marks but this episode taught me doctors need their head examined. He is my psyciatrist. this may be a good drug for siezers but not with out problams.
