| Lila,
I can't help w/a neurologist reccomendation, but...
While you may want to continue to persue an allopathic medical solution
("mainstream" medicine), in my experience, MD's are often of limited
use in solving "systemic" problems. They're great for broken legs &
gunshot wounds, but hey, most of them have *ZERO* hours of training in
nutrition, which, along with other lifestyle issues, is the major factor
in most systemic problems.
I don't want to create a SOAPBOX issue, so I'll make some COLORADO
references; when I lived in the springs, BArbara Shears was my
naturopathic doctor- I understand that she had taken a leave of
absence to have a child; if she's still unavailable, I believe she was
referring patients to Dr. Ruth (?) next to Mtn. Mama's on Uintah,
another naturopath. Years ago, after about 8 months of seeing
gastroenterologists, Dr. Shears correctly diagnosed, and solved via
nutrition, a digestive problem in a single (90 minute: try getting that
from a MD! :^) office visit. Your mileage may vary, but I'm obviously a
believer.....
Again, MD's are great and indispensible for those areas they have
expertise in, and I wish you the best of results. But keep in mind, if
you're tired of having drugs dispensed, that there are other, perhaps
more appropriate (once the MD's have ruled out any serious,
life-threatening conditions) solutions for chronic systemic problems.
Best Regards,
-Chuck O.

| to add to what Chuck said, mainly because I wouldn't have been so kind
in my description of Drs...%^)...but my family used to go to Barb
Shears. She no longer practices. She refers most patients to Judith
Lily, on the west side on Armstrong Street, I believe. That's where my
wife and kids go now, and I've been once. We had NOTHING but awe for
Barb, and feel the same about Judy.
