Thank you all for all you help Thanks to for the info. Pat you are an angel! Thanks
for all the info sites etc. I am at a small US Military base in Germany so I think it is time
for me to gather all my info and go to the Med Commander. With any luck I will be sent to a German Lab!
They will also be assigning me a new doc! Thanks again!
