Wow, how disappointing -- esp. after getting yourself so "braved up" to ask for it ... I did the same last year when I approached my doc, nervous and knees shaking, and although he was clearly leary b/c he hadn't heard of MWO or prescribed Topa before (he's a sports doc), he agreed to prescribe it for me (turns out my insurance refused to cover it anyway, despite repeated attempts to get it through, so I ended up ordering it online anyway...). I agree with WIP -- be strategic in finding a doc who has experience with your circumstances. You are presenting yourself as an informed patient who is being proactive in taking care of his/her needs. You deserve to find a doc who respects that and is willing to help you. Good luck.
