If we were cancer patients there would be hundreds of doctors to specialize in our illness. Why are we here taking solice in our pain with each other. We should reach out to the medical community and make them pay attention to our problems.There are so few doctors who specialize in this (unless diabetic related) which seems unfair. If anyone is interested in pursuing this further, please let me know.
i am willing to pursue. any assistance is appreciated.

You have my vote and you echo how I feel and feel in general about that lack of support.
I agree its good to talk to others but in the end talk gets us nowhere and Im tired of this too *edit*
This is nothing personal to any one here as folk like Mrs D have been fantastic , but they can only do so much i.e. advise with the same old opitions .
The reason cancer gets so much focus ( yes it infuriates me too - given some of its related to smoking and other things self provoked) is because its seen as terminal and therefore a priority .
I can tell you Im only 32 but there many day I almost wish i did have cancer Im so tired of this and the fact Im not only left with multiple problems which in themselves were caused by doctors to start with , but also confined to live them out in misery knowing what to expect tomorrow and every day after that the rest of my life.
I dont want to sound bitter and angry but I am , I know as I knew 10 years ago the likely outcome of these problems and nothings changed.
