    Requesting Advice for Dr's Appt

    Self medicate

    I have and still do experiment with medications, food ( add or subtract ) rubs, tubs, massage and other hands on modalities, and other things. One of my PCP doctors loves what I do and report back to him, the other HATES my experimentation and often reads me the riot act. The later doctor also...

    Sick of the pain

    Hi all, I have been upset from the forum for awhile but managed to peek in every now and then. I have been having the worst pain in my butt cheeks and down my legs.
