Todd, I think I would include both Doctors. If one rejects the idea maybe the other will see the advantage in having this information. The main thing is to get them involved so this can come into reality. I think for sure the DR. that is treating you for TM would appreciate the information more

Pam,your exactly right. This will be a monster challenge for us to get this into a working mode. If your Dr hesitates then simply ask him " Dr are you really wanting to help me or are you just pretending that you want to help. This will cost you nothing and will give you the latest avaliable inf

Larry,I also agree with you too. I too am pretty disgusted with the medical field in general. But like I tried to indicate there is a need for a library of information available to your GP to simply look at what your trying to relate to them and possibly give you help. This may be a bigger help
