Thank you for the input.

I hadn't considered the whole "Doctor/patient privilege" aspect of the situation..

You're probably right- If I can find somebody who will listen to my story, who will believe me, and be sympathetic to the situation, I shouldn't have to make myself sick in order to get authorized for my medication.

At least, I really hope it will work that way.. After all, somewhere along the way I developed some will to live, and purposely sickening myself is now contrary to my nature.. Heh.

I'll contact them tomorrow (hopefully) and see if I can make any headway. I'll post updates as I get them since this thread could potentially help someone else.

Thanks again!
