If that's what it takes, you should do it. Not trying to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong - just trying to stress the seriousness of the condition.

I appreciate your comments! I'll check into a unit that gives more info- perhaps I do need a little reinforcement that shows that the unit is more than just an annoyance!
