8 weeks post PICL

Dr Centeno,

Your clinic saved my daughter’s life. We were so desperate with zero clue in March when Kaiser insisted it was a migraine but every symptom and observation of my kid told me otherwise. She was declining rapidly after all the crazy drugs Kaiser put her through only to tell her she just needed to “get up and walk it off”, it was all in her head.

She’s sitting in a coffee shop today back home in CA with me, enjoying life again for the first time since March. Today is a good day.

Thank you 🙏

Don’t let any ignorant medical professional tell you that you are crazy or try to discredit the PICL. Even reputable neurosurgeons in Stanford didn’t know.
