P.S. to Liza May:

Myself, if I thought I was doing everything right and had tried everything,
I wouldn't consider it objectionable to seek out a licensed health
professional of some sort to consult and get a diagnosis to perhaps get a
firmer handle on the problem. Sometimes we health nuts can shun doing so to
our detriment if our self-reliance is taken too far especially in the face
of persistent problems. My two cents.
