Neurologist evaluation

April 9, 2011
Chloe saw the neurologist at the end of March to see what can be done with what her doctor called paroxysmal attacks related to her unknown neuromuscular disorder that she was born with. The doctor was very attentive and had Chloe do many things and follow directions. The doctor prescribed slightly stronger then an over the counter pain medication and a supplement that a gland in her brain should be releasing to get her ready to sleep. Chloe found the supplement and the slightly stronger medication to be very helpful and has a much faster schedule then we ever thought possible. So far we have a lot less of the muscle twitching with moments of blank stares and stammering so we continue to work on her arms and hands responding more coordinated to a given task .The more she uses the supplement and pain medication the more the symptoms may improve has been suggested. If this happens it would be a nice bonus. She will see the neurologist every four weeks med adjustments.
Now, I am beginning to explore the possibility of a part time job with a possible job coach but need to research this subject further.
