Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 When I read about people not having a CT nearby I feel so lucky to be in NY and have one in NJ that is not so far. But I have read alot about people traveling to CT even by airplane and using volunteers. Pilots who offer their services. I think there's some info on that on the group info. I would really say it's worth it to go to CT for at least the free evaluation and hear what they have to say. It can't hurt plus you'll feel better to have done something. I know what it feels like to have time ticking away and it is frustrating. Even though my son is 6 months and getting his band 2/17 so much time was lost with insurance and diagnosing etc. But it is best to do something asap. You do not need referrals from your doctors either to go to cranial tech either. Best of luck everyone. Sherry Chase (6 months) tort.
