I hope you don't take offence, but I think that's ridiculous to have to
wait til June; that's more than a month away. Why can't they get you in
to talk about what's going on and maybe suggest different bcp's or
something? Just wondering. Do YOU feel you can continue like this, or
did the doc office make you feel you have no choice? I know sometimes
the doc office's can make us feel that our problems/pains aren't
important, but they are. Good luck and hope things start getting better
real soon for you!
luv, Amy
