Hi Sally,
Can you get another Dr.? It sounds as though you might need one.. Mind over
matter my a**.
I've definitely heard the old 'learn to live with it'. I don't think it's
fair, appropriate, humane, nor acceptable. I have learned that your quality of
life IS all important. Although anything is worth a try-different things work (or
at least help) different people. Hope you get some help soon.
Let us know what happens. I sure could use any helpful suggestions myself.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,
best wishes and a gentle hug,
Gloria :)
