@puddknocker @amyb5. I think both of your postings emphasize the need for self advocacy. I can be really difficult to get doctors to listen to you, especially when it’s not their specialty! And good doctors are exhausted today. Many are leaving their practice and others don’t seem to care. I remember when i was having symptoms that seemed stroke like. I asked my PCP for a referral to get an MRI, but she didn’t think it was necessary. So I went to one of her practice partners, who gave me a referral. Thank heavens! The MRI showed lesions on my brain for which I’ll be treated forever.

This long article explains it all.
I hope that you two will continue to advocate for yourselves and others!
