> Fred - Yeah, we may know more neurophysiology than your family doc, but we can't properly diagnose worth sh**. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. - Cam W.... add to that there there are, geez -- I dunno, 20 or so of us who respond frequently and many, many more who chime in when they can. We can gang up on most doctors real good!
... add as well that maybe -- you gotta judge this for yourself -- you interact with us in a different way than you do with your doctor.
If you find out something here you haven't heard from your doc, print it out and bring it in. Maybe your doc will appreciate the info, maybe not. I know that my pdoc appreciates the wisdom I can share from this board if only that it broadens his own perspective beyond what he sees with his own patients, and often for something more substantial.
