I hate dealing with new doctors! They are so confident they have all the answers, and for the "normal patient" they might. Let's face it girl: we don't fit into the "normal" catergory. I know I'm God's way of keeping my docs humble. I hate it when doctors won't listen. It's hard on us until they realize they still have alot to learn. Hang in there. You are in my prayers everyday. By the way; HOW ABOUT THEM VOLS!!!!!!!!!!
