> I noticed a book in the store a few weeks ago that was a guide to taking charge of your own health care, and managing the information, etc., and I wonder if it has ideas of how to handle this kind of thing. I just tried to find it online with no success. Next opportunity to see it at the bookstore, I will and will let you know if it is potentially helpful.
Thanks I appreciate that suggestion. I need to take conrol of the situation as much as possible. I think there may be some things on the net also. I went to a psychologist, gave him my history and had him give me a "diagnosis." Then I present that whenever the issue comes up. He even let me edit his notes: he had not heard things and/or I had not been clear in communication. I may consult him about this problem, too. I really liked him. However, I'm already paying over a $1000.00 for teeth gum and med expenses not covered by my insurance. So I'd want to be very focused beforeI spent any money on it. Ironic to me that when what I said was writtn down by a psychologist and signed it has more weight than my just saying it. He did add opinions somewhat diagnosis like. Oh well.
