Appointment Update

Well, after waiting an hour, Liza met with our neurologists, Dr. Reza. He is terribly wonderful and warm, funny and patient. Liza enjoys his personality, candor and knowledge. They talked for a while and the good doc began to pay special attention to her neck area. He thinks that the headaches are primarily muscular and structural, meaning that she needs to focus on relaxing and healing the muscles instead of building them up. The left side of her neck muscles and shoulder muscles are noticeably more pronounced than her right. Her head even sits a little off-center because of the difference. It is this problem that is likely the cause of all the pain.

So...she is excited to try some new muscle relaxant medication samples that should help her sleep and not feel drugged in the morning. Along with better quality and more rest, relaxing physical therapy is on the menu. She goes first thing tomorrow morning. So all of this is very good news and encouraging, although today has been particularly painful (as was yesterday). Please continue to pray for my dear Liza.
