I myself am very pro-military also. I was on TriCare for 15+ years while I was married to my retired-military ex-husband who if it wasn't for the military doctors he wouldn't be with us today. He had a tumor in his sinus cavity that went into his brain - the military neuro in Texas that he saw knew just what this rare tumor was and had him in surgery at Walter Reed in DC within 24 hours and saved his life.....

I personally feel that yes we need to go by what our neuro's are telling us but we also need to do our own research and listen to what people tell us on the boards. Experience from the ones who have or are going through what we are is the best advice as far as I am concerned.

I am day 3 of my Steroids...... I thought they were making me depressed but maybe I was wrong.
