Hi Carrie:
Sorry to hear of your pain ((((hugsss)))).
I don't think you should feel like a pest at all. Our condition
warrants many calls to our Doctors. The fact that your Doctor calls you
from home at night shows that he is truley a caring physician and I am
so happy for you that he's your Doctor.
With my Doctor when I have called for results from tests I've had run
and his nurse could give me the results, he always calls me back instead
of his nurse.
I hope your pain becomes more manageable for you....
Best Regards
