Marling, many times I feel I know more than the Dr. They are not all
knowing (even if they think they are!!). I tend to give copies of articles
to the Dr. that support my position and that the Dr. will read. As has been
stated many times, the person with the condition has the greatest interest
in the outcome. It is too important to be left to the Dr.! It is up to you
to manage it; you have much more to lose if something goes wrong!
Peace, John
