Oh, Snuffie, I'm so sorry to hear that you're having health problems. My take on the situation is this... You have an obligation to your children and grandchildren to try to obtain your birthfather's medical history, and hopefully the medical history of his parents and siblings. I think they have an absolute right to that type of knowledge, and so do you. Sure, it might make your bdad angry, but when it comes to medical stuff, I think it's his moral responsibility to provide that for you and future generations.

I hope your doctors can figure out what's going on with you. Would it help to get a consult or second opinion through a teaching hospital? University medical centers often do a better job of diagnosing the tricky stuff, simply because they see more cases of unusual diseases on a daily basis.
