RisibleGirl,

Your neurologist is one out of a thousand. As you say, "He listens to you." This is not the norm. I have been seen by many different neurologists and not found one like you have. The various brain injury support web sites also report this situation. RisibleGirl, you have been blessed with this neuro.

The Physical Medicine specialists have been better. Two out of three have this willingness to listen to me. But then, I did research to find the two that listen.

I had a PCP that was good at listening but she did not have the good referral lists to work with.

Monday, I start occupational and speech therapy for the first time since my injury 8 years ago. Hope I can afford all of the co-pays.
