but something is causing that over-production. As you say, it might well be genetic, but unless you have medical training you should consult someone that does.

I don't mean to harp, but this is a sore (yep, I intended the pun) subject with me. I was a healthy animal until I wasn't and my problem could have been cured much sooner and easier.

I would have died, after a lengthy, painful, and futile treatment.

OK, I'll quit nagging now. I've enjoyed the chat.
