Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Hi Laureta, I am glad you have a good doc who will at least run tests when needed, as that can make all the difference. The fact that she is supportive of you is great too, I know how not having a supportive doc can devastate an already devastating situation. By the way, I saw my far-away, good Family Practice doc, and he is going to arrange for me to have the vitamins in injectible form! Yea! This is what I mean by not having to convince. I just showed him the Cohen article and he agreed to work with the pharmacist to get the stuff for me. Another doc, a neuro that deals regularly with Mito, acted like he didn't even know what I was talking about when I asked him for injectibles, but the Family Practice doc is getting it arranged for me. It is like night and day with doctors! It is very frustrating, I also will have to go back to learn how to inject myself, talk about energy loss, I am still recovering from this trip! It would have been so much easier if my local neuro had been open to it, I could have had it started in a flash, but no, I have to leave the state and go to a doc that will put my needs first. By the way, the neuro that acted dumb when I mentioned injectibles was more than ready to prescribe Rx drugs, but God-forbid he prescrible natural vitamins that are already prescribled for the disease! ugh!
