good luck there kid.

what's your overall prognosis?

when you first found out, what was your initial reaction ? you write a will? start cooking meth?

do you have kids/dependents? how are they taking it?

sooo i guess no meth eh?

i guess you can't believe everything you see on TV.

have you been to support groups? have they been any help?

have you put life on hold for treatment or has it been a motivator? i can see it going either way honestly...

i don't think i know enough to think of anything appropriate. but, here's a scenario that has been running through my mind. (with a little background)

me and my 2 bothers now all make good money, if we wanted to build up a kind of familial wealth fund, who would we talk to?

is there such a thing? could we aggregate out incomes/savings /investments into a kind of super-estate so that everyone and everyones kids have something for a generation or two ?

or is each branch of the family basically on it's own after we all die?

i'm a neurologist too, won't verify with the mods though.

some things that worked for some of my patients when medications failed.

1- one teacher has done fairly well on marinol (surprisingly) She is the only patient i've perscribed this to for this reason, and i won't do it for anyone else cause i don't want to get in trouble

1- two gentlemen and one lady seem to get some degree of relief with acupunture following deep tissue massage.

the relief does not last, but I had basically cycled them through every other drug and they had seen multiple other specialists.

deep tissue then acupuncture better than either alone.

this is, of course a self selected sample of 2 patients.
