Megan,

This is just so crazy..... What happens to people turning up in the ER...? If you're acutely ill will you still get treatment? Or is it just 'non-acute' stuff that is being put on hold? People with serious illnesses, who are only going to get more complications by things being put on hold and therefore requiring more expensive long-term treatments.... Head and brick wall. eek2

I hope you can get that test run soon, and that you don't get to another acute episode... Would having your mum test positive for it hold any weight in trying to get in to see someone or getting treatment? What harm is there in suggesting places in the US to you? I can't imagine what is going through your docs head. If you went and tested negative for it and they couldn't treat you, isn't that your problem not his...? Can he not suggest any private labs...? Would there be any harm in trying any of the appropriate meds and seeing what that does for your symptoms...? And did he really wait a month to tell you that he couldn't do anything for you for the next 2 months...? eek
