I was recently sent links to two blog sites that you may find of interest. One is Patient Empowerment, and in particular - patients.about.com/b/2011/0... and the other is the Fibromyalgia and CFS Blog (an American site but still interesting) particularly this post chronicfatigue.about.com/b/...
It shows that other countries have the same problems that we do here in the UK!
Good post - I'm also in a USA forum, where often docs are too quick to operate. Experience of doctors, no matter what's wrong with you, depends on the doc however sometimes your approach can make an impression!
On the other hand, some idiot may just have taken your tooth out because "it was the only option" NOT. (er sorry I just wrote that out loud) x
Thank you Lyn for all this excellent information. Have a great day.
