Hello Ruthanne: I thought I would answer your post so you'll know you're not alone, but probably your post will be moved to the "Introduce Yourself," forum for new users. I just wanted to say that you are not alone as far as doctors ignoring what you tell them and you KNOWING something isn't right. I wish you the best of luck and hope you get good results at Case University. Please let us know. I, also, had to fight with doctors about 6 months in order for them to remove my tonsils, but I hope and pray your outcome is better than mine.
