1 I'm on it, have been for about 2 years now. My doc warned me about it, I didn't have a problem. Not even a slight rash.

2 No Stevens-Johnson, but my doctor was concerned because of the rash I developed. However, it went away, for which I'm extremely grateful! .

3 I am so glad to hear that both of you were fine, unfortunately I had Stevens Johnson Syndrome back in 2002 when I was 14, and it was the most horrible thing ever and I still have side effects from it now almost 8 years later. Unfortunatly, my doctor never warned me about SJS so I had no idea what could've happened to me.

Late2Serenity replied to post #3: 4 I'm sorry to hear that you had/have it, must be awful. I often wonder why doctors don't think to warn people about potential problems with medication.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
