I really wish my brain could form the sentences I want right now... but here is the general...
- HOPE... I will travel to the end of the earth to find something that will help... I have flown 990 miles to see a new neurologist that I HOPE will offer something different... right now, HOPE is all I have because, NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has offered any help! So if there is a thought in this world I could find out how to get my head in a 12 tesla MRI I will research it out of HOPE that I can finally have answers and that something will help. And yes, that could be me chasing a pipe dream or a magic pill or treatment.. but it redirects my thoughts and does give me HOPE.. and hope is not a bad thing for any of us..
- Hockey, you are right.. I do not expect a "cure" but just something that will help and maybe knowing that something is on the horizon and doctors saying, we will do what we can in the meantime would be a great thing
-M-I-M- yes, neurophsych has made me realize that I am not going crazy but that there are really some screws loose that are making me not be able to process correctly! and for that, I am thankful... and I can move forward trying to put all the pieces back together...
