  1. Hi! I´m currently taking cimetidine and metformin in a considerable quantity, with no ill-effects. See my published cocktail for more info!

  2. Hi
    Is he taking verapamil and sertraline every day both of them? Is he taking Keppra every day or only during chemo? We took both for a few days but in smaller doses. We would like to take bigger doses too. Any side effects?

  3. Is your son still using the Optune device? Just curious, we are waiting on my hubbies - insurance denied but we are appealing and opted to go ahead with it and pay for it until insurance kicks in. Wanting to hear feedback from someone who used it and their feedback. Thanks
