Dale,
Did you cancel the myelogram b/c of the iodine dye fears (maybe they use something else) re: arachnoiditis? I heard that the older oily dyes caused problems but did see a reference to the newer dyes to causing problems but I'm not sure to what degree.
I live in LA and people have different opinions about their docs. I'm going to Laureyssen for another opinion, have seen Regan, and there's Bray, Bae, Watkins at St. Vincents (whom my doctor likes), Patrick Johnson at Cedars whom I hear is wonderful from what I've been told. Djscal has an excellent read on LA doctors.
You dont' deserve such treatment; they won't change so split and good luck w/all.
You are probably not alone in having problems there.
