      I had given up on finding a Dr who was willing to take their time and try to help me but when Dr. Kennedy saw me the first time she has gone over and above the time to try to help me. We still have not found the answer but she told me that she would not quit until she could help me and for the first time in years I think that she is truly dedicated to helping me and I trust her completely. I wish all Drs were as dedicated as she is.

      The actual procedure of LP was very painful. There were several needle piercings Into my spine before they (doctor and attending resident) could successfully draw CSF. I think the inexperience of the resident added to the pain. It is understandable for a teaching hospital.
