She is currently treating me for Tarlov cysts (perineural cysts) and I'm in the process of being diagnosed with arachnoiditis. She specializes in various connective tissue disorders and many other conditions. As I said before, she has people from all over the U.S. to see her so that alone must mean something. Please go to her website that I included in the last message and check it out. It does a better job of explaining everything better than I can. If you call they would be happy to answer your questions. I can tell you that she takes wonderful care of her patients and thinks out of the box unlike so many other doctors. I'm sure you have had to jump from doctor to doctor because nobody wants to acknowledge arachnoiditis. She is the doctor that gets stuff done. She gets right on the phone with the radiologists, other doctors if needed, etc. There is no wasting your time going to a ton of appointments that do nothing for you and spending thousands of dollars for nothing. Trust me, I've done it for many years. I'm having the best pain relief I've had in 16 years. She switched me from the fentanyl patches to Oxytocin and Ketamine troches. They work together and dissolve under your tongue. I was afraid to get rid of the fentanyl patches because that had always been my best pain relief. I can say the new medication combo provides more pain relief and is an alternative to the opioids.
