Koala,

The funny thing is, the "neuros" that we see for MS aren't the same ones that we see for head injuries.

The MS neuros are neurologists specializing in disease.

Someone who sustains an injury will first see a neuro surgeon, then a neurologist while in the hospital, then most likely a psychiatrist if meds need to be prescribed, and a neuro psychologist for talk therapy or biofeedback.

That's probably why your neuros weren't interested. Not his expertise.
