Claudia. I have the biggest crush on you. Ivanova was a total bisexual icon to me, so thanks for taking on what must have been a scary career move for you at the time. That character meant a lot to me at an important time in my life, so many fangirl thanks :)

My mom is an addiction counselor, has been my whole life and she's my greatest hero. So glad that you found a program that works for you as you're a talented and seemingly super cool lady.

Totally not a question, I realize.

I have Spondylolisthesis and Spondylolysis trying to avoid surgery as I'm only 32 and I worry about complication. I've been seen by 3 Neuro MD's, who basically all told me "surgery and/or pain mgmt & PT."

1. Do you see any work coming up with these issues that excites you as a Neuro?
2. Am I stupid to think that losing more weight (lost over 15 lbs, will lose as much as I can but staying healthy) and good PT/Core strength will eventually help me to get off meds and hopefully be able to have a kid & carry it when it's a baby?

Just general advice-I know you can't truly diagnose. Thank you for doing this! All the Neuro's I've worked with have been...well...unsatisfying for various reasons and I'm totally charmed by a Neuro who would do an AMA!

Thank you for the answer! Um, any good doctor associations I can refer to? I've had really REALLY bad luck in trying to find Neuro docs who aren't cold & impersonal, a little crazy, or sexually harassing of me. I'm not being dramatic there at all-and with my personal recs exhausted, I don't know where to go! I'm in NYC.
