that AS MUCH AS WE would like it, the diseases, the treatments, the medications, the philosophies to approaching any ONE aspect are soo complicated that to find a doc who is up-to-date AND can connect all the dots that cross over disciplines is like looking for needles in haystacks?
What WE can do, is try thru learning of others' experiences good and bad about HOW best to approach any given doc...THEN NOT GIVE UP!
Hot/cold on nerve conduction tests - I'll have to dig up that site and post it again....It's been about 3 months or so...But I for one do know that temp. during the tests does make a difference...My last Nerve conduction test I really complained of cold...doc tried to rub my icecube feet warm...You do NOT rub my feet too much or I want to knock yer block off? I suggested that he get a hand-held hair dryer rather than take the room space heater up onto the table...You get the drift...As for AI's not being 'hormone therapy'? Go to any BC site and see what they have to say....I believe it IS as much a chemical manipulation [falsely presented tho] and any radiation therapy there is...s/e's are similar tho permanent damage is far less [whew!]
I'll refer you via PM about folks who've experience w/the spinal stim stuff...
Consider? Maybe when I post this article things mite make more sense...sure hope so.
Well, my turn to ramble is done - j
