Lawana, I hope you feel like you are talking to all of us, that you are getting support form all of us. I e-mailed the information to you that we discussed last Monday.
I hope that your local endo works with you to help you feel better. I am very, very sorry that your experience with the endocrine group didn't meet your expectations. It sounds like you have been through so much as it is, and I just wanted you to understand that we really care about what has happened to you and what is happening to you and that we want you to get better!
