You know what they say, opinions are like......

But here is mine: take it slow, take it easy, expect the unexpected, and concentrate on "this too shall pass". Also, file a medwatch report on your own (online). They are easy to do.

My experience has been long and drawn out but the best thing you can do is try to tolerate those things you are experiencing and ride it out. Sorry I can't help more but you are not alone.
