Babs, Good for you!!!!!! That's a great attitude. Knowledge is Power! Getting a good Dr. is so important. I got mine out of yellow pages 6 years ago. He has been great-so knowledgable, kind, and supportive. He is a Psychiatrist, neurologist and Pharmacologist, so the combitnation is a perfect fit for our disorder. He understand grief ,loss as he lost his wife to cancer. Then one of his daughters went to Florida with her boyfriend to visit an aunt who had just moved into a new home. It was a chilly night and the aunt turned the heat on. No one woke up. All died from carbon monoxide. The heating and cooling person mixed up the line for putting the carbon monoxide outside the house, instead he put it inside. So sad. I lost a friend like a son to me and my Dr. was very supportive.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Your friend, loretta with soft hugs
