Both my brother and I turned in our Function Reports on me about 2 months ago. This 'lag' time wait is making me uncomfortable. It seems like I should be doing 'something' rather than just passively waiting. Got any ideas? Just still tight and be patient or ???
Thanks, |

How many docs have you seen since you first applied? How frequently? What specialties? Can you list the specialties for us. (NOT the names of the docs.)

Basically, lots of DX's and TX's. Finally got a correct DX via skin bio . . . so now we are playing with my drug mix to try to find one that works well. Started with 900mg's of Gabapentin - six months later it is at 3000mg per day . . . With me feeling very sedated and in a mental fog. |

Do you have any endocrine problems?
Why would you see an endocrinologist for venous insufficiency? Just curious. |

I just went to who the foot doc sent me to. Maybe the doc that did the venous is multi-talented! I have no endocrine problems that I am aware of. Thanks.
