If you are fighting with dr's for a neurologist or neurosurgeon that will help you Get in contact with Northwestern in Chicago!! 312-■■■■■■■■.

Just fax them your mri reports include your home number and they will set you up to be seen from there. I've been at my wits end for so long even while having my head pounding like someone was beating on my neck and head this morning. I cried and laughed (yep more pain but worth it!!) Cause finally had somewhere that UNDERSTANDS!!! Good luck to every and or anyone in Illinois!!!!
