It's hard to deal with. I can't honestly tell you how long. What I will tell you is this: you need to be your best advocate. Only you can do this. If it is not getting better, don't worry about feeling pushy call the doctor's office. There is still a lot more than can be done in your case, if things don't start changing soon. Do not let things go off the rail. If you need to, have a family member friend, help advocate for you as well. Good luck.
