Good for you for trusting your own knowledge of yourself and your reactions. It takes great courage to challenge the professionals that are supposed to be helping. I'm glad your pdoc supports your own knowledge and intelligence. You really have done your research and studied the issues with scientific precision. It's not like you are just avoiding things that make you uncomfortable. You know what you need and I'm impressed at your strength and courage. Maybe I can borrow a little bit of that from you. 
Good job my friend. Good job!
