Thanks for the email and doctor's name. It would be good to have one that is close to my network of doctors. Well I learned a few more things from you. I've done some googling and have some other ideas. I always like to know as much as possible when I'm seeing a different type of doctor and this will be the first time I have to see a hematologist (if that happens).

For some reason I have a sneaking suspicion that the Nexium I've been taking since Dec. is causing all of this. I tried for three days to stop taking the Indomethacin so that I could stop taking the Nexium. But the pain got so bad I had to start taking it again. I'm asking for a new anti-inflammatory when I see the doctor. I'd rather have the risks associated with the cox-2 ones than have all of this happen. I think it could be causing the toenails to fall off, the neuropathy to be worse, the blood problems, the vitamin D shortage, etc. In short, causing my body to die because it's not getting the right vitamins.
