I would recommend his clinic because they're very extensive and been great in explaining everything I've been feeling.
What I've been told is that these things do get better. They definitely do. It does have its own timeline that is just hard to gauge. It's been horribly difficult for me to accept this slow slow timeline of improvement. I have been resting now since October 2015, away from work and finally beginning to see minor minor changes. In my case the anxiety and depression from not getting better became uncontrolled, and I ended up actually checking into a suicide prevention clinic. Just make sure you have a handle on your anxiety as well. Good luck with this. It definitely will get better, just make sure you have doctors you trust.
Best,

Herm,
Thanks for your reply. I am very sorry to hear about your anxiety as I can definitely understand where it's coming from. Hopefully, you can surround yourself with people who support you and remain optimistic and positive in your recovery as believing that you will get better is half of the battle.
I have been recommended to see Dr. Cantu by a friend who has also seen him. Would you recommend going? It's not exactly convenient for me considering I don't have a car and he's in Mass. What was your experience there like? Did they do any kind of treatments? Tests? Did you see Dr. Cantu himself?
Best,
Nick
