**monstro** , you are not being a bad patient! From where I see things it sounds like you’re doing everything you should be doing, and you’re being a heckuva lot stronger and smarter about things to boot.

As a krazy suggestion (a k for extra craze), **mozchron** suggested he’s capable of doing the test himself, or at least with his lab… I don’t suppose you could work something out privately? It’s probably a horrible idea but I feel so badly for your situation and wanted to offer something concrete… I mean this is probably concretely a bad idea but I hope I didn’t cause any harm at least saying it…
