Sorry wait is so long. I would get on the list even if it is far off from now. You can always cancel.
Here is a list of support groups in KS. Maybe you could call one of them for info. or go to a meeting?

Morning all, in SA the only Dr who may subscribe medicine for patients are neurologist. My mom is on the highest dosage available. When through all the scans ext. Strong's

Hi MaryJoFay,
I know what you mean about it being difficult to get an appointment with Dr. Pahwa. My former neurologist told me during a visit in July 2014 that he had run out of options. So he referred me to Dr. Pahwa. My appointment wasn't until Jan 2015. Fortunately someone canceled so they had an opening in Nov 2014. He did order a brain MRI.

Just so you know, Dr. Pahwa has not got any openings before July! Jeezzzz...! Hope I'm still kicking when my appointment comes around! He does come highly recommended, however.
