She's sounds wonderful, Carly! I'm so pleased for you. I wonder how far the drive would be from West Texas if I make an appointment with her.
I find it interesting that we have the same problem areas, just different problems. I have C-spine degeneration and osteophytes, and dystonia. Neurological movement disorders all have similarities and differences.
We just need to learn how to outwit our disease.
Here's a youtube video of Billy McLaughlin telling how he cont. playing the guitar even after he got focal dystonia in his hand.

I know you'll get some deserved help now that you've found the right doctor.
all the best,
