I saw Barack Obama speak at South Bend Washington High School on April 9, 2008. My friends, my wife and I were roughly 15 feet from the stage. He looked tired for the first 20 minutes or so, but then seemed to perk up at the end.
I’m now down to 7, including Nasonex for wacky allergies that have cropped up.

After finding out that my thyroid is essentially dead, I have been taking a synthetic hormone replacement. Hypothyroidism was the central cause of ailments generating a plethora of prescriptions treating depression, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
