Tonya,
Thanks for the info. Fort Smith is like 3 hrs. from us. Perhaps my back
surgeon I am soon going to will help me find a good neurologist or other pain
dr. I think I need a pain dr. because I am on fentanyl patches and I don't
think neuros. can prescribe them regularly; but not for sure if they can. I
thought you always had to go to pain drs. when you were on #2 narcotics.
Thanks again, Natalie

pain to deal with. I was referred to her at onset by my pcp, and she came
up with the TM diagnosis very quickly. I still see her every six months.
