yes, quite right on the point of prescription fees, divina. i did actually actually go to a walk-in about this problem, but the doctor was so over-worked he said he may not have time to hear the multiple problems i came in to ask about. so you can imagine my hesitation when i went to shopper's to pick up my $45 lotion, which i didn't purchase.

i had great luck with my homeopathic treatment last time, which was for cold sores, and i understand that it involves my entire being, and not just the symptoms i'm experiencing. i should probably go ahead and book another appointment with my homeopath as she already has my past history. and i can simply update her on the last 2 years since i've seen her. given that there are quite a few things that aren't right with me physically (tonsilloliphs, scaling around eyebrows, itchy flaky scalp, swelling in fingers on right hand), it's probably best i go to my homeopath and discuss it in more detail that way.

thanks for the reassurance, divina

take care and thank you for responding.
