Yeah, but do the Internet sites know you as well as your doctor?  I've been
seeing my doctor here since February, 1982.  I even drove the 85 miles to
see him when I lived in Mandeville.  The 170-mile round trip was well worth
it because I got cured and visited my daughter and her family while here. 
My doc used to worry about me driving that distance and even floored me
once when he told me he is very glad I moved back here.  Next time I see
him, I'll ask about the 140/90.  Maybe we'll both learn something.
