Default help finding new MD?

I do realize now that the way that "dehydrate myself" came off as being a little much. However that is exactly what he told me to do! Sorry for the drasticness of the comment!

I did notice an improvement in the pain in my head and behind my eyes, and my eye did not swell while on the Lasix. However I did not realize how thirst that medication would make me and was waking in my sleep to slam glasses of water...so I kind of cancelled the med out a few days into the trial. My MD has me on Prednisone right now, he is also thinking that I could have Sarcoids...even though he did a biopsy 1 month ago to see if that was what I had and it came back negative...

I am looking for a good doctor to go for to get a 2nd opinnion. 2 months ago I had no symptoms, and now I am almost falling over, and in constant pain. Not to mention how this is affecting my school work and job! I am worried at how much my symptoms are progressing and want to see a doctor that may be a little more proactive and not just waiting to see what happens. I am having trouble locating a DR around Rochester NY. There is a lady in Syracuse, but she is considered out of network, and I cannot afford covering the whole visit. Anyone have any suggestions? What did you all do to get insurances to cover these different doctors??
