Dr. Riebau is my moms Dr. when she had her stroke. My mom had an app. with him on the 27th for the TN. But I cant wait that long so decided to go through ER today. She is only getting worse. Now it is constant even in the middle of the night. She is down to 90 lbs and would not even eat or drink for me. AND you can tell she was trying but she cant. TOO much pain.
Thanks Bassetcase!!!
I will keep you updated!!

I was unaware of this until my first visit, but I feel like he may be more focused on learning all the new treatments for our type of disorders.
Luckily, my episodes are very sporadic, so I do not see him on a regular basis.
Good Luck with your Mom - I know it hurts you to see her suffer so.
Best wishes,
