That was the easiest way to keep multiple people updated at once besides word of mouth over the phone.Need to switch to verizon to get voice to text capability, so if I amgoing to be blind for several months, that would be the easiest and only way to be connected somewhat to IHD. ;D

Just my 2 cents Donnia - but if it ain't broke - don't fix it! I think I would hold off making any changes - you've had great improvement and changing meds again could create another challenge. I would give it more time to stabilize.

Great news Donnia

The phone is new to Verizon on a Motorola q9 phone that is specially ordered from Verizon. Just found out about it coming out from The American Federation For The Blind.

As for that medication, that is the first I have heard of it. It's not listed in any information I have.
