It's Not Just Me

I'm suffering horribly (to me) from, errr, power surges. I know there are far worse things to suffer from — cancer, for one. But this is my life right now and it's miserable.

My doctors have told me to take black cohosh, which I paid big bucks for and have been taking religiously three times a day for several weeks. No change. No improvement. I thought it was just me. Then I picked up the paper this morning while waiting for my car to be serviced, and read this about black cohosh: it's "practically ineffective".

Looks like I'm just SOL and will have to live with these blasted (get the pun?) occurrences until they subside in a year or so! I am not happy!
