please go see a differnt doctor. just because your doctor doesn't think
anything else can be done doesn't mean that nothing can be done. it
just means that HE can't do anything more. please don't make the
mistake i made. please see another doctor. if possible, send your
records to a specialist for them to review. dr. albee doesn't charge
to review records. even if you couldn't get to see a specialist, mabye
if you had his opinion, you could take that to another doctor and get
them to do something.
