Hi Lisa:
I just wanted to let you know, you are not alone with your experiences
with the doctors. I just want to let you know, not to lose hope (like I
have so many times.) There are people working on these problems and
hopefully, sometime in the near future, they will have better ways of
determining what causes the pain and ways to treat it. I hope by you
knowing that there are others like you with the pain and frustrations
out here, together we can keep making "noise" and get the doctors
motivated. I wish you well.
Regards,
Wayne
