2nd Opinions

I decided to not go ahead with the muscle biopsy. I am now seeking 2nd and possibly 3rd opinions.  Of course I have to do this within my insurance guidelines, and the wheels grind slowly if you're not actively dying. Gee.

In the meantime I have steroids, which I intend to take. I KNOW it will cut back on all the inflammation I have. There are other symptoms it will likely improve, but the inflammation reduction is definite.  That means my pain will probably improve. Yay.  Too bad that relief will come along with  the hideous side effects the steroids always produce.
