In the pa...

Have you had your B12 tested? Has your doc mentioned Raynaud's? My other suggestion would be to find another doc for a second opinion.. and another.. and another... until you find someone who's willing to work harder for you. It seems odd to me that he would stop at an "unknown origin" diagnosis when there might still be an answer out there. You shoul...
