I'm thinking instead of a wise woman (stranger) maybe your doctor could assist you.

Again, I'm sorry. I had to ask. I find myself shaking my head alot with some of the posts on this site. Maybe it's just me.
I called my female physician about this issue in early August, and she wouldn't help me. She told me to call an internist. So I had to pick an internist from a list of "in network" physicians from my insurance web site.

And if I could get the internist to return my phone calls promptly it would be helpful. I had to call his office 5 times in the last 2 weeks and leave 5 messages before I got my phone calls returned. After he suggested made the hose recommendation, he said "call me in a couple of weeks and let me know how you are doing. Have a nice weekend." Then he hung up. So I probably need to find a new internist. But with working 50+ hrs. a week plus traveling for my job, I don't have a lot of free time these days to research doctors.

Just thought some ladies on TOTV may have gone through this, so just wanted some feedback. Sorry if my post disturbed you.
