I'm going to New York

[cjsmith]

I don't yet know when I'm going, but Dr. Jain of the Centers for Pain Management called me back and says he wants to see me.

A number of things (in my history) "are confusing," he says. "Come and let me look at you." He says the first question is an accurate diagnosis, and if that is okay, treatment should be "easy." I told him I was a bit concerned that I'd had several different diagnoses from different people so far.

He's unwilling to speculate on anything until he gets a look at me in person. I don't blame him, disappointed as I am at having no feedback yet. He did say he'd pursue "pharmaceuticals" heavily. Good for him if he can find any applicable stuff I haven't already had. :-)

I should come Tuesday or Wednesday and stay through Friday, planning to fly back on the weekend. Then I will likely be asked to come back in one or two months, depending. LaGuardia is closest/easiest.

Wheeeeeee... maybe.

I'm very hopeful for you. It sounds like maybe he's understanding of your long history and frustration, at least the way you've portrayed his comments here. *crosses fingers*

I hope so. At the very least, he doesn't want to proceed randomly. If he sees that my case looks confusing, he might think that's exactly what has happened in the past.
