Anthony...would you be willing to share your Doctors name and address with me?  Bill Mingus is trying to update the "sufferer reccomended Doctors" list at O.U.C.H.   and if you are o.k. with pm-ing me with the info I'll send it along to him.

Getting a good and informed Doctor is one of the things we consider a priority and anytime one of us find one we like to share that with newcomers.

I get your disappointment but hey, you get to hang around with this great bunch of CH dudes and dudettes! And there is life in between hits. Focus on what you got and how to deal with the beast when it comes a'knockin'. Blessings. lance

What Lance said. Enjoy the pain free time, the company of the people on this board, and always be ready to do battle. You'll be fine! Wink

When we finally decide we have to take personal control and know what our Doctors don't, we start the road to managing CH. Attack the beast with all you can muster.
