Choosing to believe a doctor is hard, espically when its your child their talking about... but you need to have a specialist you trust impliciatily... someone you know cares enough to make the exact right choices.<BR/><BR/>good luckFrom FAT to FABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14655666277267498752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339303059074627867.post-58103845000796731302008-07-18T19:16:00.000-05:002008-07-18T19:16:00.000-05:00I'm one of those diagnoised as a teen.
