I really cannot add to the great responces you received. Be your own best advocate, as you know your body, better than anyone else. Do all the homework like has been suggested to you. The education is your friend, and the best way to reach your doctors for help. Don't give up, or be pushed into a therapy you do not want. There will always be people on NT to be there for you as you go through this pain. You are not alone, and I care too. I live with a different kind of pain, and I do have compassion for what you are experiencing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie
