Good morning and welcome to the IL board. I am not a clinician so I do not have any knowledge of your particular situation nor can I advise either way. This is something only the doctor can answer for you after he takes your medical history. I am going to guess that you are not the first patient that he has seen with a similar situation. I am sure that he will work with you in some way shape or form to help you get healthy.
