Around and Around We Go

Well, there is no shortage of changes, no shortage of frustrations and sometimes no shortage of hope. The most recent news is difficult to get through. The physicians are getting risky with their suggested treatments and I’m really having to decide just how much I am willing to gamble. I feel, after the hyperthermia trial in Holland, that I am done with the experiments.

Now I am at steroid injections and am stopping that unless they are done radiographically. I was a neurologist’s office last week and she gave me 6 injections trying to hit the piriformis muscle. I feel terrible now and over the last week it’s been hell. I was supposed to go today for a shot into my neck and begged off. She’s made an appointment to do a repeat one radiographically but this being Canada I have to wait a couple of months…She wants to do botox injections into the muscles. I am totally uncomfortable with that and want a second opinion.

Dr. Fernando Barinagarrementeria Aldatz in Queretaro, Mexico

Dr. Fernando Barinagarrementeria Aldatz is located in the Hospital Angeles de Queretaro.

I got in to see him in about one week. The visit was 800 pesos. He never once made me feel like I should leave. He chatted and asked me all kinds of questions.
Once you make the appointment send some info to him by email. Then phone to see if they got it.
I sent him reports and the hospital had a bit of a computer issue on that day but no one knew where it was.
The receptionists are nice. If you call they may tell you it is his personal email (which it is), so they can’t tell you whether the doctor has received or not.
Tell them to ask him or you’ll waste some time. You might have to phone back but it’s a much better way to get the most from your visit.
For sure, if you have had MRI’s done, bring the CDs.
And just so you know what he looks like I’ve attached a little picture. He is an absolute doll. :-) And his English as good as mine.
Let me know if you need help or info.
Cuidate mucho (take care)

The complete article is free. It’s well worth visiting the link because there is also a 12 minute video explaining what the Alexander Technique is. I’ve posted the abstract below.
