Dear Carrie, I feel like a pest too, sometimes. But, I also learned that if
you do not tell your doc all the trouble you are having as often as
possible, then they just assume everything is ok. One of my docs actually
said to me, "why did you not tell me you were in this much pain?" I think
it is perfectly fine to call the doc whenever you need to. If you don't
speak up, then you will not be looked after. I can relate, though. But my
docs are real understanding and they know I would not call if I did not need
to. Don't worry, just take care of yourself, whatever it takes. Love, Ale
