Ooops, sorry about what I suggested, I was really only saying what works for me:-)

But I can understand your fustration with doctors. My mom was told it was all in her head for years when her RA first developed. One doctor told her to go spend the summer in the mountains, which was great for me because that's when I fell in love with riding and horses but did nothing for my Mom. I think this was when she began to abuse alcohol as self medication.

She finally found a doctor who diagnosed her and helped her, she always said Dr. D saved her life. The moral of this story is: don't stop looking for a doctor who can help you:-)
