Again, I'd recommend absolutely do not get the second opinion from any AF medical personnel. Demand to be referred to a civilian specialist (not sure where to start, Endocrinologist??) outside of the AF. The TRICARE referral office will give you a list of specialists in the local area to choose from. Do your research first before selecting the specialist. Call each Dr. first and tell him your situation and see what they say. If they don't seem interested in exploring your theory, then move on.
