He's in Northbrook Sandy, and he's awesome. He has mostly MS patients but he's brilliant and I imagine he knows how to treat any type of neurological problem. He's also an excellent listener. I wish I could either clone him or, he'd open an office in DeKalb.

No kidding, Wiz...I have never, never in my 54 yrs had a doc like him...Sandy, Wiz and I both drive a long way to see him...it's well worth it...this from a woman who is prejudiced against docs...can't say enough about him...DH agrees...

Thank you for the update Debbie. That's pretty intense about the apnea! Sheesh!

I'm glad you found a thorough doc. I'm sure they'll do what's best for you!

And he referred me to the urogyne that did my surgery...he has patients from 5 states...
when you find a good one, you'll go a long way!

When I joked in the neuro's office about needing to move to San Diego for the weather, my DH shot me a glance and later said, "We can't move far from here...we don't want to lose this doctor..."

it's wonderful you have such a good dr. i'm jealous.
too bad i'm moving to FL.
you'll be very surprised how much better you feel when you get some REM sleep.
