He did you a great favor by indicating that a specialist needs to evaluate your condition, address your questions, and recommend your treatment. I hope you get answers soon.
I totally agree, and I appreciate his honesty! I don't want to be his experiment either LOL!

I had absolutely no idea how unusual my presentation was until he told me he had last seen this when he was a resident! And my Primary Care doctor said he has never seen a case of AA in 25 years of practice. So I am very happy to be transferred to someone with more expertise - I just wish I could get in there today or tomorrow!
