Melly,
I have never posted on curezone but have been very sick since May of this year, after camping in Anza Borrego. I also live in the San Diego area and have been following your story closely. I am also so frustrated and fed up with the lack of care/compassion here by physicians. I also have symptoms in my head/ears but it started with symptoms in my abdomen (flukes, I believe). I'm work as a nurse here in SD and am just appalled at how I (we all) are treated (not treated). I am getting help now from Dr. Cheiu (in Vietnam) but haven't gotten meds from him yet. My symptoms are serious and scary. I ended up in the ER this weekend because my docs aren't doing what they need to do. Just wanted to say hang in there, you just kind of have to finangle and lie your way through this mess.
