Kerry Mischka replied to Karyn's discussion applying for SSI"Karyn-
Just to make it simple and clear to you my suggestion and opinion is that you need a NEURO PSYCHIATRIST....the MRI must be ordered and read by that particular Doctor."
Kerry Mischka replied to Karyn's discussion applying for SSI"They do not test for a TBI they have to see it....that is the only way to truly prove it!

Kerry Mischka replied to Karyn's discussion applying for SSI"Karyn-
Please forgive me, but Dr. Amen is a NEURO PSYCHIATRIST.....that is the type of doctor I have recommended that you see...The MRI is critical to show any damage that may have occured."

I thought I had graves disease a few months ago and cried when I found out that I didn't.
