I guess you're right. And if it was entirely up to me to decide what I should try, or what sounds effective at this point, this would not even be an issue. But somehow, I'm always worried my doctor will think I'm a pain in the ass for complaining all the time about little things when the bulk of his patients (presumably) have more serious problems than mine. Of course it's silly. He's very nice and has been quite open-minded recently. I guess it's just my own insecurity talking.
Anyway thanks for the encouragment. When I get a bit depressed,I start thinking I don't deserve "excellent" treatment because so many people are worse off. But then it's like when your parents used to tell you to finish your plate because children are dying in Africa. As though that had any bearing on the famine over there.
