Dallas trip

Happy New Year to each and every one of you!

On Sunday my mom and I are leaving to go to Dallas through Thursday, where I will be going to a headache and pain clinic for treatment and evaluation.

The prospect of another 20 minute neurologist appointment where I'd get very little information and limited options was so awful that I decided to explore the possibilties outside the Kansas City area.

I have read a lot of positive things about Dr. Krusz and Anodyne Headache & PainCare and have seen his knowledge about migraines and concern for migraine patients firsthand by reading his responses to patient questions on websites I visit.

I talked to my parents about this and called the clinic to get some information. My mom and dad were on board completely and my mom even volunteered to come with me. I'm so glad I won't have to do this by myself, and I'm more thankful than ever for their support and willingness to do whatever it takes to help me get my health back. Hopefully someday I can repay them for all they've done for me.

I'm nervous about going. I hate telling my whole story to new health care providers because there is so much to tell and usually so little chance of anything helpful coming out of it. I'm trying to have a positive attitude and doing my best to write down everything I can think of ahead of time to alleviate some of the pressure I'm feeling to remember everything.

Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers!
