    You're welcome, Sue. I'm glad you found it helpful. Unless readers really dig -- and most people don't have the time, or know where to begin -- they probably don't realize what can be done to screen for lesser-known disorders, and once diagnosed, the treatments available for them. It's appalling when you learn the numbers of folks out there struggling to breathe -- and through no fault of their own not even coming close to getting the care they need. 

     

    Jane.
