Thank you for clarifying all that. Both of my grandparents have passed and my mother and I are estranged. So this is all new to me. I really appreciate it. I live in a smaller area now, but I am not beyond driving to a bigger city to get a 2nd opinion or for someone more knowledgeable. When you lose confidence in what they are telling you, it is hard to remain a patient and feel at ease with treatments. I always feel bad about switching dr.s like it is an automatic complaint against them. I know it isn't. But I appreciate you saying that it is okay to Doctor shop. I know I have told people that before, but it is different when it is yourself. Best of thoughts for everyone battling this.
