Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi, If anyone has used one of the doctor's listed for a phone consultation, would you please write to me privately? I got blasted by my family physician the other day. He would not give me any hope and said he "would pray for me". He prescribed flexeril. My situation isn't all that immediately bleak. However, my health insurance is being canceled. That could be the nexus....lol. I want to use the ldn for fibro and as a prophylactic for Ca. Thank you.
