Thanks, Erin. Those are useful markers to look out for and make me feel a little bit less anxious - which of course is very important!

Every time I try to call to see a neuro, they are all in a group practice setting and the receptionists are adamant that they won't take cash patients - and/or that they have no availability for months. Sigh, I never should have left CA - if only I knew now what I didn't know 3 months ago when I accepted a new job!
