Both the nurse and Dr Dongas took very detailed notes. She asked from the beginning of my symptoms to what I was feeling that day. She listened to what I said and did a exam of my body so I could tell her where the odd feeling started. She explained her thoughts and told me what tests she wanted done and why.

Ted Ingram's initial appointment was February 1. She saw us in Dickson. She spent considerable time with us, which I (Judy) really appreciated. We will see her in six months.

She prescribed Alprazolam 0.25mg and explained I was to watch closely if he stumbles or fall. None of this has happened. So he has taken 4 1/2 tablets. I appreci
