Dear Bobby

i would try to confide in the doctor. sometimes the things we do for chronic problems aren't the right ones and we end up prolonging issues that are simply resolved given the correct solution.

sure, the doctor may suggest tests, but cannot make you take them.

anyway, first, you will be asked about symptoms, what you have tried and any coinciding changes in your daily activities, diet, meds, or any asepects that could be influencing factors. i encourage you to report all "differences" that you might have noticed that might coincide with the bothersome one. for instance supposing you started having headaches around the same time, or more anxiety... or whatever. i'm just throwing things out there. sometimes symptoms that seem unrelated to us actually are, so i encourage you to try to convey the "full picture" to the physician.

then the doctor may give you some med to try or labs to do and/or send you to a specialist. he or the specialist may or may not suggest any invasive tests, and it is always up to you what you do.

remember nobody can so much as force a pill down your throat if you don't want it. you are your own master. doctors are our learned health counselors and, only if we accept a given counsel, care providers.

love
