Re: New dr visit -

[Guest guest]

,

I'm really glad to hear that you liked your new doctor. My PCP, a

young internist, is the same way. She is very up front about not

knowing much about RP, but is totally willing to do anything to

assist in my care and is really open to my suggestions and requests.

I hope that you find the rest of your new doctors to be easy and good

to work with, also!

I sure wish you were feeling better! I'm sorry you had to raise your

pred again. Take it easy, although I'll bet that's getting a little

old....

You're in my thoughts and I hope you have a really good day today.
