I had a lot to say, but decided not to post it. I do appreciate your thoughts, you're making a lot of good points, and I believe you're trying to help, but I wish you'd log in. That you post AC strongly discredits you. Can't tell one AC from another. And you're trying to be too personal and intricate, but it's a conflict because AC is by definition impersonal.

Please don't psychoanalyze me. You don't know me, and you can only know a very very little about me here on SN. I'm far far more than an engineer. You're much too sure of yourself, when you have very little actual facts. I don't psychoanalyze people, and I especially would not write my conjectures here. I have no sense that Gaaark feels helpless. He can speak for himself.

I don't mean to worry Gaaark, and if I do hopefully he'll post something and we'll discuss it directly. Gaaark himself wrote: "But her doctor is still concerned, which is worrying." So since he implied he's already worrying, I'm hoping to inspire him (them) to be proactive. I think waiting is gambling. I've found doctors have become very passive. Early definitive diagnosis will lead to the correct treatment.

To be frank, using the wrong treatment plan and shooting from the hip can just make the problem worse.

OhMyGosh, does the AMA know that? Better go tell them!

Wisecracks aside, you're completely misinterpreting what I've written, and you may be the AC who does that a lot here, or maybe there are many of you. What I'm advocating and suggesting is correct testing, definitive diagnosis, and go from there. Waiting is a gamble. It's time for proaction. ("proactive" is a recently coined word, so I'm coining one.)

Again, I had much more to say, including many many direct examples, but it's not worth it.
