Having done needless surgery, I must sound a resounding NO to getting cut up.
The inflammation observed in you has been discovered in multiple PFSers and counting.
Ideas on the source of this inflammation have been expressed elsewhere. Let’s just say that not everyone thinks it’s irreversible.
What I’ve found is that whatever the speciality of the doctor you go to, that’s how he’s going to see the problem and treat:
• A surgeon will propose cutting you up
• A hormonal expert will offer you hormones
• A naturopath will cannot and so will never give you a pharmaceutical
• A shrink will tell you it’s all in your head (haven’t been to one, but that’s what I hear, lol)
There are exceptions, there are good, independent doctors with integrity or at least enough decency to say “I don’t know.” But most think they know…reminds me of this quote:
“The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance. It is the illusion of knowledge.”
