HELP Please....and advise would be greatly appreciated.

I hope you're sending her to a neurologist instead of a neurosurgeon...

If she doesnt have any insurance, or if she has insurance that might be inadequate, you might want to see if you can get her what you can now. BEFORE she can get diagnosed with MS if that's what she's got.

I tried to up my insurance before I got diagnosed, but I couldnt afford it...so now I'm probably stuck with what I've got, and I'm constantly terrified that they'll drop me for using it too much.
