I'm seeing Dr. Rebecca Milholland. Just started seeing her a month or so ago for my migraines. She is the only neurologist in my entire life that has done a full work up. I got some answers that I'd been waiting for. It took me a month to get into see her (center of neurosciences) but well worth it!

Massage may help Carole. Tucson Touch on Pima and Alvernon is great. They have a variety of massage therapists. Garnet and David A are my favorites. Good luck!

I haven't seen Dr. David Siegel yet, my first appointment is in two weeks. But he comes highly recommended. I do NOT recommend Dr. Lujan. When my mom saw him last year, we found him very dismissive of her concerns.
