I'm still confused that she talked to me about surgically removing residual pituitary tumor last visit when both MRIs last year and this show no visible tumor.

It has taken me 10 years to find out what I have. The drs I saw did not listen to me or my symptoms they ask me if I had seizures. As I am experiencing many symptoms that are related to this. I came out of my appointment with less hope then I did when I walked in. I will be looking for another neurologist that specifies with the care I need.

This was a totally unexpected (and life changing!) event in my life. The personnel at UAMS saved my life. Really, I can't think of one person that wasn't kind and caring. There were some that weren't as caring and kind as others. I wish I could personally thank every UAMS employee, from those that cleaned my room to every surgeon, who dealt with me. Considering what I've been through, it's a miracle that I am walking and talking. The quality of my life hasn't changed too much. From the bottom of my heart, thank you UAMS, for saving my life!
