I do basically (at least when I'm not feeling sorry for myself) feelt he same way. I have to at least try or I'll never know if something would've helped. Just find the process so frustrating. Especially when it feels like you're not being listened to by the medical "experts". Finally got my records from Hibner's office and he and Dr. Castellanos didn't listen or follow thru either. My records show pain all on left side, shingles in 8th grade on right hip, but further into the diagnostic area it says they are on the same side and therefore they won't try nerve blocks. UGH!!! I'll be calling them on Monday to correct that and see if it changes anything.
