        They think it is contact dermatitis on my scalp.??  So, they gave me a cream to use on my scalp and I have to go back on monday, as I had my spinal pain injections on thursday, and could'nt move to make my appt today, so I requested to see another doctor, and hopefully they will listen??  I'm just getting so frustrated, because these dr's don't have a clue at what it's like having a ticking time bomb in your body, and when you can't get anyone to take your concerns seriously, it really takes a toll on your emotional stability.  Thanks so much.
