Check out www.onf.org to see if there is any additional help or direction.

Maybe someone else in Canada can read this and give you some advice to get the blood work done. I know that hormones can create havoc with skin condition.

My best to you.
Mark, you have lots of good info to offer, however, your knowledge of Canada doesn't seem part of it.

Doctors here are not reluctant to refer and prescribe. Doctors are not the gatekeepers of the health care budget, they make referrals and prescribe to the best of their ability with no thought as to cost. (Its one of the downfalls of the system). It can be a long wait to see specialists though, that is true, but that is BECAUSE too many unnecessary referrals are being made.

The issue I am actually having is a group of doctors in one clinic who are obviously not well educated about concussions and pcs and the various possible complications.

What I am trying to do is gather information from CREDIBLE sources to try to educate my doctor and get what I need. Obviously I am not explaining my circumstances well enough to him on my own.
