Just be open and honest with your doctor like you have been with us. Tell him that you're confused about some symptoms that you have that seem to point to other diagnoses, but not entirely -- and you're just wondering what it all means. Don't be afraid to mention these things. Some doctors can be real jerks about these things and they tell us that we 'read' too much which I think it nonsense. If we don't try to educate ourselves we end up real idiots about our conditions! Yet if we DO read, they tell us we read too much! So we're darned if we do, and darned if we don't.

The thing is, do NOT let your doctor intimidate you. He's working for YOU and if he gets an attitude, just remind him of that! Tell him you're just trying to educate yourself! But just be open with him, and tell him about your symptoms. He'll explain things to you if he's any kind of doctor at all. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
