I have made the decision to terminate all contacts with local and Phoenix neuros, as they have not helped and will not help my condition. I am throwing my money away. I have cancelled all doctor appointments for the year. Spent a goodly amount of time trying to clear up ocular cellulitis (fourth round of antibiotics seems to be the charm), and this clippers/MSA-C thing is just getting on my nerves.
SO - have decided to take my health into my own hands. Turmeric, no sugar (real or substitute), other dietary modifications, heavy on the leg yoga, tandem bike, accupuncture. And we shall see what happens. My oppressed mood is already lifting. I found a new, responsive NP. Growing my wildly curly hair out, checking out an African mudcloth dress. Yes, I will remain fluffy, but my CBC shows great numbers with my strict dietary control. So there, crappy family genes!
