Hey Lil,
This new doc sounds just what you needed - although the results weren't what I'd call "good", it is good that you know as much about your condition as you possibly can - we can only start helping ourselves with the right knowledge, of course.
I hope the fittings and all that side of it goes well; did she volunteer any possible causes for the stroke? How clever of her to catch it.
Take care, I hope you find significant relief with the new set-up,
all the best
