Subject: Trimincin decongestion and sudfed cold & decongestion removal 

I am not a happy camper. I am 67 years old. Since August 1970 I have
taken triminicin three times a day for a bad case of sinus. and when I
got a bad cold would often increase to four a day along with sudafed
little red tablets not exceeding the dose for the day. This has kept my
sinus from becoming infectived to the point I have no sense of taste, a
screwed up inner ear which makes me fall down if I am not careful. My
life has been far better with these products. And when I get right on it
avoid having to see the doctor or taken antibiotics which often times
become a depressant over a period of time. Until age 40'ish had good
blood pressure than it started going up due of course to ill health of
husband,working, long drive to work raising kids etc. In other words the
usual daily life of an American woman. But when I had to deal with a
cold, i knew and so did my doctor that my blood pressure would rise. So
always took my blood pressure on time every day. NEVER,NEVER had to take
a dietary product. Seems rather unfair to have my life screwed up
because too many soap oera people do what they do. Use things recklessly
and cause problems for everyone else.
     You said ask your pharmisit. Got a nasty response from Walmart on
rainbow north it wasn't there job to suggest something else. Just buy
another anti histimin. sorry But over the years have tried many other
products and the end result was to throw three fourths in the trash can
because they didn't work. Actifed,travist-d, I might just have swolled a
rock, NOTHING and a whole lot of others. I am very un happy you deceided
to do this based on a five year study when here sets 30 full years. Very
unhappy senior citizen who dosen't want to have to pay a leg, foot ad
arm for a prescription drug that probably wont work. I have better
things to do with the rest of my life. thank you for listening to this
of course right now my blood pressure is really up. Had I known this was
going to happen would have empty my savings account and gone all over
city to buy everyone of these I could find on the shelf. Joan M Peed.
