I am sorry you did not get a reply. Perhaps you could retitle your question for better response. I cut and pasted this from the forum rules. The rules state avoid using words like PLEASE in the title. Try again but with a topic in your title I think the medical professionals skip right over posts like that since it does not catch their eye with a subject. I know for myself I skip the ones without a topic and open them last.

Forum rule >>Please do not use the words Help, Worried, Urgent, ect. in Subject Line. Each post is important to each of the senders and those words only encourage EVERY post to begin with Urgent, thus defeating the purpose of trying to get an answer. A far more effective method is to state the clinical nature of your post in the subject heading. This will be more likely to result in answers from specialists in your condition
