My time here has concluded and I wish to thank you for allowing me to spend time with you in trying to address your medical questions.
I leave you with a final caveat; Always remember that the Internet is the poorest source for evaluating medical concerns and should you develop symptoms that are unfamiliar to you, or that represent change from the normal course, my advice is to consult your primary care physician for direct evaluation and interpretation.
The Internet is, by contrast, an excellent source for support in cases where you have already been evaluated and the cause is determined to be benign, and yet you still have questions, concerns or even fears about the specifics of diagnostic tests or your diagnosis.
Finally, never accept medical "advice" from anyone other than a qualified medical practitioner. Opinions should always be welcome, but never rely upon a lay-person's interpretation of your concerns with regard to healthcare issues to determine any course of action or to disregard symptoms that concern you.
Best wishes.
