THEY ALL REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR PAIN. ALWAYS WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU FROM SCHEDULING TO COSTS. HE NOT ONLY HELPS YOU FEEL BETTER, HE TEACHES YOU HOW TO CARE FOR YOURSELF. MY BODY WOULD SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. FIRST I COULDN'T KEEP MY EYES OPEN, THEN I COULDN'T TALK, THEN COULDN'T MOVE MY ARMS AND THEN MY LEGS. I WAS AMBULANCED AND ER'D NUMEROUS TIMES, WITH NO DIAGNOSIS. I COULD HEAR, BUT COULD NOT RESPOND PHYSICALLY OR VERBALLY. I WAS SENT TO MANY SPECIALISTS IN SEATTLE FOR TESTS. THEY EITHER WERE MYSTIFIED, DIDN'T REALLY CARE, OR SAID IT WAS MENTALLY BASED NOT PHYSICAL BASED. FODOR WAS SEEING ME FOR SOMETHING ELSE AS A NEW PATIENT- I SHARED THIS MYSTERY WITH HIM, HE DIAGNOSED IT. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED HE FIXED ME, TAUGHT ME TO RECOGNIZE THE WARNING SIGNS, HOW TO SELF TREAT, HAVEN'T HAD AN EPISODE IN OVER 11 YEARS. HE TREATS YOU AS A WHOLE -- BODY, PERSON AND LIFE...ALL THINGS ARE CONNECTED. HE LISTENS, CARES, STRAIGHT UP HONEST AND FAIR. CHRISTINA DUGGINS
