Hi.

I'm writing for my boyfriend who has had NTOS for 25yrs. He was prescribed Valium and has been on it for 8yrs and it makes his flare ups go away completely.

The recent problem is that his kaiser dr. retired and his new doctor decided, based on nothing, that if Valium worked, he couldn't possibly have TOS and that he's a drug addict.

He isn't. Who would WANT TO TAKE 20mg of Valium every day?

At any rate, Kaiser is going to force him off of the Valium and he's looking for another doctor who understands why it works. Dr. Ellis, in Berkeley, prescribed it initially, but we don't even know if he's still practicing.

We are in Northern CA. Does anyone here have a doctor who is open to it?

Thank you.
