thanks everyone. i have been doing my research (duh?)(as in internet, calling specialists, etc.) and found a new med that really sounds promising. i heard from B this evening and he is taking a printout about it to the doctor.....trying something new doesn't scare him. so, fingers crossed and we'll see what the doctor says.

it's the not knowing that gets ya. i just want to know what he has to do next. i'm not patient enough.
