Dr Howard is considered one of the best but i think when dedaling with very complicated illness like this the doctor patient relationship is very important that therre is not only lack of arrogance (or at least less arrogance) but there has to be a strong well developed trust both ways, which is why i choose to travel 500 miles to see my neuro, not that even he himself says there are equally competent doctors closer.

Annie juat a side note i had guillain barre was paralyzed from neck down for 4+ months and although i couldnt move a thing, i felt everything, i would cramp up every 15 minutes and in fact was extremely hypersensitive to touch, it was excruciating.
