-- Rhonda, without giving me false hope, this is great! I have been through a few specialists before, so I do think another opinion is very important - I have already gone through that a couple times. I know anything is possible and I'm not giving up yet, but I'm a little discouraged (I think the horomone treatments have some effet on that)! Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts and experience! Although I don't participate regularly, these forums have helped me tremendously!!!
