Seeing the Woman Doctor
May 23rd, 2008 · Comments · Doctors/Centers, Fibromyalgia, Symptoms, Treatment
Okay I went to see my not so favorite type of Dr., the GYNO, or better known in my house as the Woman Doctor. LOL But I really liked this doctor. I have been to so many of them, that it is just hard to go to them every year, or more. I had [...]
