Hi Niki,
Welcome to the family!
I have a niece with your name. Spells it the same way too.
Be careful. A lot of physical therapist think they know about our condition but really don't. Lucky for me mine did. In fact he was the one to see my symptoms first and suggested the neurologist I'm still seeing.
My Ibiza is a 60 lb. blue merle collie who loves to play even now being 9 yrs.
I know she misses playtimes but I also feel that she understands when I'm not up to it.
Some days are better than others. Next week I'm going for a checkup and another increase of meds.
Stay in touch and hope you find relief...
