    Poor pops grandma. Sorry to hear that. A hangover feeling with none of the party... That is pants 😧 I'm not on that high a dose (yet!) but ive been to see somebody today who has advised me that whatever dosage your body will get used to it, eventually. Not very helpful but maybe a little light at the end of the tunnel 😊
