I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be,
but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.

Getting my foot in the door

 





I finally have an appointment to see a Neurologist at UAB Hospital's MDA clinic. The lady who took my info and scheduled my appointment was very nice and efficient. Birmingham is overwhelming, and I had a couple of panic attacks, but I survived so I guess it was a success? I hated it. But I'll go back in October (a surprisingly soon appointment, as there is usually a longer waiting list) and see what happens. I have plenty of work to do in the meantime to get medical records together and download my whole genome, etc.

Wish me luck that a new doctor will join me in my battle against Familial Periodic Paralysis, Gastroparesis, Congenital Migraines, and several other conditions.

I don't know how I'll make it otherwise.
