Looking back over this thread, I see that it started out with Phillipa explaining that she wanted to take some of the suggestions she has been given, but that fear of side-effects and of doctors making poor choices had prevented her from doing so. Several posters responded very positively to this, suggesting finding a really good pdoc, perhaps at Duke, and building a trusting relationship without making much in the way of med changes, at least at first. This really did seem to address Phillipa's real fears, and show that we understood and respected them. We have all had many of the same fears and experiences with pdoc's that she has.
I think Phillipa's fears took over once again, even with the very benign suggestions she was given, causing her to reject them.
Phillipa, would you be willing to think over the advantages for you of finding a doctor you could trust, who would understand you and work with you?
