I am so sorry to hear about your husband.

Neurologists who specialize in movement disorders have a 7 month wait for an appointment…I’m stunned! I can’t wait that long…

Hi,
Have you checked out clinicaltrials.gov to see if there is anything active he qualifies for? I know a SPS patient that just went through a stem cell trial in Colorado. I have heard a few others are possibly signing up. I don’t know where you live, but my neurologist has been doing research on some alternative IV therapies for patients not responding to the typical ones you listed. He used to work at the NIH. He does see patients from other states for 2nd opinions.
