Thanks for the advice. My cancer is in remission as of December of last year. I was put on Cymbalta for a couple of months, but it caused these crazy mood swings and depression so I was taken off of it.

One of my standard poodles is already registered as a service dog for myself and my wife. He started as a seizure alert dog, but is really helpful in getting around. The other isn't registered but has learned from him. They help me up and down the stairs all the time.

My wife and I have started moving towards gluten free for myself and for her Lupus and Hashimoto's disease. I also was prescribed a Tens Unit for home use on my back along with Percocet.
