Talk to your doctor and see if you can get a generic drug. I have found the generic work just as well. It is funny now but when I was on Nexium for a very short while and it made me very itchy. It was very embarrassing, everything itched even my eyebrows. Rose In a message dated 1/30/20

I agree with Danny. If it isn't too steep, I use a sheet of thick plywood. I have even lowered my lift on the steps and bridged it with plywood. Are you sure you weigh that much? My chair weighs 150-200 lbs and I'm about 150. Good luck and be careful. Sent from my iPad Begin forwarded messag
