new Doctor maybe

my wife's neurologist told her a few weeks ago that there wasn't much more he could do for her. He was basically at a loss for what else to try. Dr. Silver has been a good doctor so far. Better than I thought he would be. He's seen the Weakness and the droopiness and he's heard the slurred words and he's seen when Nicky has been in some of the worst pain. He's tried many different medicines to try and help her some of the medicines which frankly I don't know even do anything... Topamax is one that he recently wanted her to take. I know one thing, the stuff costs a bunch, even with our health insurance. So far last count there's about 9 different medicines my wife has for trying to maintain her sanity. That doesn't include the medicines she needs to take everyday to fight Asthma, or hypothyroid, or nerve pain, or heart palpitations.

Dr. Silver wants her to see Dr. Coober at some UofM clinic. I called them up and after some varied bs I find out they can't see Nicky till October.
OCTOBER! This is June dammit. I take the appointment for her anyway. We hope maybe when Dr. Silver finds out maybe he can speed the wait up.

Meanwhile after I keep telling friends and family, my mother tells me about a guy her doctor suggested.

I decide somehow I will contact Dr. Saber and see if they can see her... hopefully they take our Insurance... and hopefully they can see Nicky before October.

Peace,

Luke R.
