[QUOTE="taxidermycoffeebeans, post: 513681, member: 14117"] Thank you for all the responses so far! I hadn't even considered using the word webs for just a sentence or two... I will give a go next week! AWESOMESAUCE! As for all the additional evaluations, yes, we are limited where we are at the moment, not to mention limited as anything we do must be through a referal from our PCM (Primary Care Manger) and it takes time for approval, then to get in to the appointments. (example, I had an unexplained issue of gaining 30 pounds in 6 weeks while keeping detailed logs of foods and activities. It took 6 weeks to get an appointment with my PCM, two months for the referal papers to arrive, then the specialist was booked 4 months out! Very aggravating process.) We are a military family.
