Buttons I empathise with you .... maybe not in the precise medical problems we both have, but in the type of service, lack of service we have received from the medical profession.

Yes tiz a shame you do not still have that spider, or at least a photograph of it for identification purposes. However after all this time your real issue with it was / is the type of poison or microbes/nasties it inflicted on your body. Somehow I do not think a look see under the microscope of the fluid would be such a bad idea............... however that is your choice.

I just don't know where to find a doc who wll listen to you.... especially when you are not (tiz me spoken of here) a privately paying patient.

Is it any wonder more and more persons are turning to self diagnosis and medication?
