I'm so sorry you are going through so much. It is compounded by not finding specialists and doctors who are willing to work to find answers.
I drive to see Dr. Mendius because a friend of a friend referred him to me given his understanding of the complexity of PCS/ mtbi. He is extremely busy (I had to wait 2.5 months to see him), but I would call and get a closer referral to Sunnyvale. Or invest in the drive!
I keep thinking that there should be _someone_ at Stanford or Palo Alto Medical Foundation who has some experience with mtbi! Let me ask some folks...I'll get back to you!
