In reply to the discussion: I am retiring from DU! [View all]calikid
(584 posts)50. Sorry to hear.
After searching for months and seeing more than several neurologists, I finally found one that LISTENED to me instead of talking at me and scribbling in his charts and not looking at me. He was a cross between
Patch Adams and Hawk Eye Pierce, a very sharp, funny, caring guy.
All the other Doctors didn't think it could be what I had googled and investigated, well, "Patch" & I googled
it together and he conferred. So, he gave me a drug and boom, I no longer go to the ER once a week, I
have a normal life that other Doctors said I couldn't have.
Please don't stop looking for another Dr., YOU need to take control of YOUR LIFE.
Good Luck!
