I'm still shocked [if he is actually guilty]. He was nothing but professional & personable in my experience.

In any event he's most likely done for. That's my biggest challenge facing me. It took many years to find a doctor who worked hard to find solutions to my problems.

I found that steroids [non-anabolic of course] worked wonders [the 2nd best medicine in terms of relief for me]. They are a powerful anti-inflammatory. The thing is almost every doctor would only allow very short term use [a burst pack] on rare occasions, rather than small daily usage. The concern was potential heart, eye, liver &/or kidney issues after decades of use [rare in small daily doses BTW]. Dr. Tyma was the only one to allow it [although he tried to talk me out of them for the same lame reasons].

Meanwhile they had no problems with Vioxx [the drug that lots of people suddenly died from, or it's near identical replacement Celebrex. They also had no problem with every non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. They all have serious side effects on your heart, lungs, stomach, kidneys & liver [besides the fact that they gave almost no relief to me even at max dosages].

And Tyma was the only doctor to try a powerful immunosuppressant like Humira. This was the best thing I ever tried. My guess is that the others didn't want to bother going through the hoops to get it approved as they are redonculously expensive.

Needless to say my future is uncertain at best. Being off Humira due to bronchitis has left me in a ton of pain. I can only imagine also losing Medrol [a steroid] too because my next doctor won't allow them.
