I'm not surprised the dosing you are doing now is helping. Actually, that is the 'typical' dosing, I thought (3 times a day). The half-life is like 5-6 hours, so 3 times a day seems appropriate for better/consistent coverage.

I hope your visit next is more productive then the first one. I'd ask her some pointed questions (particularly why she's dismissing EM), but in the next breath, I'd give her an opportunity to tell you what the long term approach and plan is and where she sees this going.
