I’ll mention this to quack definitely.

Regarding my use of “quack” is the opposite of what most people think.

My sense of humor is a tad dry and maybe blunt but I have nothing but the highest regard for medical people no matter the job. I don’t have the stomach or nerve for it.

First aid and field stuff can handle and I will do what I can to help. I try to at least read up on the stuff once in a while.

Due to my own and family medical problems, I have read quite a bit of medical literature over the years and own several standard references like the current edition of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine.

Most doctors and most medical care are excellent, but issues can develop when a particular ailment or condition does not mesh with the standard diagnostic and treatment algorithms. When that happens, a patient is like a fast food customer trying to order a gourmet meal off the menu. Since your ailment does not yet offer clear diagnostic signs, the usual approach is to give the Magic Ball answer of "Try Again Later."

This almost always works because many infections are of no lasting significance and the patient recovers without incident. Wait and see also avoids the expense and potential harm of unnecessary treatments.

As I suggest, you are getting to the point of needing additional help. Ask your doctor to work with you on a referral to a specialist or to a research hospital.
