Hey LadyZ

Long time no see! Still doin those amazing flippy-somersault things I see! LOL

I use a higher dose version of ppa (phenylpropanolamine) for my allergy related congestion and my doctor has told me that some of this news in the media is being taken out of context and that I shouldn't worry about it. I was pretty darned worried when I saw the news reports last year of it being taken off the over the counter market. Apparently, according to my doctor and some people in the pharmaceutical trade that I know, it is a case of a very small percentage of adverse reactions that is causing the FDA to remove it from over -the counter but NOT from prescription use, so there is no need to panic, but definitely something to think about.
