    Thank you Dr. Thulin for the time spent and your concern for my problems. Yu spent a lot of time and truly made the effort to understand my twitching and involuntary movements. This causes me significant pain in my neck and the base of my skull. I'm grateful for the help and am looking forward to our next visit.
