Lawsuit? Michele, maybe you think I'm jumping the gun here (I am studying for the bar and it's all I can think about) but I would talk to a lawyer in Michigan and get some advice. If your first doctor was unreasonable in his failure to properly diagnose you (missed something a reasonably prudent doctor wouldn't have missed), and that failure was responsible for your increased pain and suffering ... well a Michigan lawyer would know better but I think you might have a case. At least, you might have enough of a case to scare the doctor into settling. A little bit of extra money could be so nice ... might even help you pay for costs of adoption if you decide to go that route. Just a tought, babe, since you've kept such careful records.
I'm so happy for you that you got the validation you were looking for. I am sure you're on your way to feeling better!
