MY DOCTOR IS NOT FINDING A SOLUTION FOR IT. I HAVE HAD IT TESTED AND KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT WANT TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF DOCTOR WOULD I LOOK FOR. i DO NOT WANT UPSET MY INFECTIOS DISEASE DOCTOR BY GETTING ANOTHER OPINION, BUT IF HE CANT HELP ME i WANT TO KNOW WHERE i CAN TRY FOR A SOLUTION IF THERE IS ONE.
