if you are on medical assistance the thing you should do is call
medical assistance about getting a new doctor and tell them what you
told me that you are going to doctor that is not helping you and ask
if you can go to another doctor also they might fall under the same
catolonge I asked my mom you can call the american medical referral
and ask them if they take your insurrance and if they do see if they
will put you on tomapax and so on there is help out and i will do
what i can for you ok let me know how that works i will try to find a
website Mary
