Hey Nanc,

I read your message, and I sympathize with you. I know how frustrated you are. My advice would be to get your doctors reports sent to the new one, because if there is any important information the doctor will need it. I also feel that when you find the right doctor, degrading comments will be disregarded. Any compassionate specialist will help you when you are in pain. Sometimes, it's a long haul, but you do need to make them aware of all your complaints. Stand your ground, let them know ALL your problems. I write them down when there are too many to remember. Write a list of your concerns, and even tell the new doctor how helpless you felt with the other.

Hope this helps Try for a Happy New Year Trace xo
