Eric: Found that the commerical kits did not do it for me. Ended up doing alot of research and made my own kit. Bought the otc stuff from medical suppliers, had my dr give me Rx''s or samples and assembled the kit using a pelican waterproof box and tupperware containers. Has exactly what I want and I did not pay a premium for the products.

lfagel,
