Just wanted to say hello and welcome you piscesgirl. This place is full of many caring people who truly do understand what it is like to experience just about anything that goes along with these illnesses.

I hope it works out well that your newest pdoc wants to reevaluate your diagnosis. As you must realize it can be very difficult to really make a pinpoint diagnosis since these illnesses share so many symptoms in common and because the only thing the doctors have to go by is your actions and your descriptions. I don't think it is uncommon to have your diagnosis change as a doc gets to know you better, as you understand yourself better, and even as you change over the course of treatment. The fact that your pdoc wants to reevaluate may be a sign that he cares to learn about you to give you the best care he can rather then just following a "rubber stamp" that someone might have put on you earlier. Even if that dx fit you at the time, things may be different for you now.

Good luck and keep readins and posting here.
