Liz made me feel like she sincerely was listening. I have a huge amount of challenging and comorbid issues and they all tend to dovetail an overlap a lot of the symptoms could be interested to several of the different things I've been diagnosed with and I wrote everything down in this exhaustive list including all the tons of medications and how I hadn't been getting access to any of those medications for over 5 months and I felt like my body was literally shutting down and just giving up and I was really scared about this then I had an x-ray with a big race that was egregious and so over the top I was excruciating pain for almost 3 months feel like she was listening the whole time she didn't make you feel Rush she didn't make me feel like stop talking it's one issue for one visit it was great I was really impressed I hope that I continue to get the opportunity to see her
