I've been on for 3 months and I'm having good results!! The side effects are sometimes hard to deal with! Musle spasams and loss of taste, still have my hair, so far!!

Oh Great! I am glad you are having good results... what does that mean for you? My brother has been on for 10 months and has seen a decrease in size of many of his basal cell tumors... some have even disappeared. He did lose most of his hair around 8 1/2 months though. Do you mind me asking where you are from and how old are you? What other treatments have you tried? Sorry for all the questions, we just don't have any connection with others with this syndrome. thanks for responding... look forward to hearing from you.
