hello jenn and welcome to neurotalk ... first let me say that you have the right to question any and all treatments given you before they are actually carried out ... you also have the right to ask for another doctor if the one currently treating you is not "listening" ... you have the right to refuse treatments too ... i am so sorry for all that you have had to go through and are currently going through ... check out the forums here and post where you feel comfortable ... if i can help in any way please just ask ... i will do my best to assist you ... and again ...
