Thank you, it's nice to know I'm not the only one. I agree, I know my
body better than anyone. And the pain is all too familiar. I have
called another dr. and he is supposed to be calling me back. I just
hate starting over. I still have an appointment with my old dr. and so
if I can't get into this dr. in time.I am going to still take the
appointment with my old dr. and really make him listen to me and what
my body is telling me. But thanks for the support. I will find the
right dr. it's just such a process. :)
