>I hope you are able to find the help you need. There have been quite a few people that have found comfort in homeopathic medicines as well-like accupuncture (I have not personally tried it, but am considering it). I just had my 3rd lap last Wednesday, and I am nearly at my wits end as well, and I do have (what I would consider) a good doctor. I think the trick in finding a good one is when you talk to them at your initial consultation-are they really listening to you, or does it seem like they are just waiting for that 15 minutes to pass. Do they truly care about what you have to say, and understand the level of pain you have? If they try to insinuate that it is all in your head, or look at you like you're a number-move on. Good Luck!!
