Re: Neurologists/good neuro, possible solution?

[Guest guest]

Ok. slight humor and serious also. I am definitely female with my

cloths and make up , ect. However, I know I am straight forward which

many don't expect I think from a blond female. I have seen many neuros

within the same dept. because of my symptoms don't seem to fit exactly

in one disease/illness. The docs I have try their darnest to help me.

The ones who don't just aren't for me. Patients have different

personalities , just like docs.

A forum like this is good for voicing how a person feels, research, ect.

Maybe some can tell of the neuros that they thght. were GOOD and what

they thght. made them 'good' for them. This may help the others who need

an neuro for their care.
