...as live in small city with not a lot of specialists per population, I read on this web site how many tests people have had - even if no diagnosis - to rule out varous illnesses etc., am afraid that is lacking where I live... I researched and even spoke to dermatologist about remote possibility of Carcinoid Syndrome... a urine and blood test - he mentioned it in his report but nurse practitioner taking no action. Later I told him N.P. not taking any action and he said "well find someone who will." But he couldn't as not his field. Why the reluctance to give us tests... even his report suggested it.... so over a year now and just coping on my own an still researching. I am even to the point of paying for the tests but not allowed in Ontario, Canada!
