It's a sad but familiar story on this board, we all understand how you feel, and also feel your pain.....I really believe that we need a few prominate, high profile doctors to suffer with our problems......then presto!!! Heaps of urgent research will commence to find a solution to our pain and suffering.
The hardest thing we have to fight against is doctors who have us starting to question ourselves....."do I really have this pain?? OR Is it really just in my head?"
Lass, your pain is real, as it is for all of us on the board. Ask us your questions, tell us how you are feeling, let out your frustrations on us, we know, we understand, and we care.
Best wishes to you Lass, we ARE HERE TO HELP, so write as often as you need.
Love, hugs & cheers Jo Eslick - Australia
P.S. Add your story to the quilt, and read some of the stories, it will help you to understand that you are not alone.
