@jaejack I found this to a very interesting discussion. We are retired military and Walter Reed Bethesda Medical Center will never run out of patients. On the others hand, we find the doctors, even though the active duty, to be very caring. They care, because they are interested in the wellness of the person they are treating. It is the same though as anywhere else, you must be willing to establish that patient/doctor relationship. My wife was given the choices concerning the "Triple Treat" good and bad sides. She tried it for six month or so and it was too much for her suppressed immune system. It did help her for a period of time, but the "bite became worse than the bark", meaning it did more harm than good. She is back at the point of need some sort of treatment, but "Triple Treatment" has been ruled out as far as she is concerned; It her choice...

As stated previously, I am a researcher, not by trade, but out of necessitate. I joined this thread to see what other persons are going through and the type of help they think they are getting for their problem. One thing I notice right away, there are more women, according to this thread, than men suffering from this disease or bacteria. I am wondering what that is an indication of. We are scheduled for a CATSCAN later this month to determine negative progression or not.

One other conclusion we have come to, we started to died the day we were born. There will be many trials , suffering, and tribulations we have no control over, but trust we will be taken through them. The life we live is not all about us and the Date of birth (DOB) or the Date of Death (DOD), but DASH in betweew them. We have recognized there is only so much doctors are going to be able to do for us and it is incumbent upon to do as much for ourselves and others while we live. That's why we will trust the doctors to do their part, but trust more in that the creation of life to give us and do the best we can with it. I am researching all of the medicstion individuals on this thread are taking organizing what people are saying that works best for them. As we all know, what will work for some, doesn't work for others, but we will have a strting point of where we should be.
