JoAnne,
I agree that female doctors seem to do better with this disease and
listening in general. I have told most people I know this numerous times.
We have two new endo’s in town and both are women. I see two male doctors
one is my eye surgeon and he is excellent. He is the man I call for referrals
for you all. My internist is a man and he also is very good about listening
to you. The third in my endo and she also excellent. I have to drive 60
miles one way to see my endo, 200 miles one way to see my eye surgeon and the
internist is local. I thank God every day I have found good doctors but
like I said in an earlier message there are gems among the stones you just
have to look. I am also very glad I found the NGDF and it’s support
structure. Thank all of you for letting us know we are not alone and
providing a sounding board and some humor. I will be talking to Archie
and Annette today to see how the CHAT room is coming. They have had
some techincal difficulties.
REgards,
Jake
