thank you for taking the time to respond to my post.

i am in the san francisco bay area, so any recommendations for neuros would be most welcome. the one i am seeing came highly recommended by my 2 neurosurgeons, and although the jury is still out on whether he is going to be able to get to the bottom of what's going on with me, it would be good to have some other folks in the wings.

vanthils, i used to live in los gatos, ca and my mom is still in the area. i will look into dr. douville as an option as well.

thank you both so much for your reply.
