hmmmm....sounds to me pfr as though you need a second opinion. some doctors seem to think they are superintending the exchequer for the nation.

one mad bastard told me that i should be digging holes in the road - this with an abnormally sited artery that was getting a fraction of the oxygen to the heart that it needed. i was stuck with that opinion for three years, it never occurred to me that different doctors saw things differently. luckily the tosser had a day off, and someone else saw me, and told me the score - it transformed my life - suddenly i understood why i'd never been the PE teachers favourite.

and since then i've allowances in my lifestyle and diet.
