    Hi @FireflyFyte

    I am aware of the case, although I haven't been following it closely. I am interested to see how things unfold and, in particular, how much her various medications may play a role in the outcome.

    I am not a health professional in any way, and I do not give medical advice. These are only my opinions. Any decisions about your medical care should be discussed with a qualified medical professional.
