Duluth will probably be the best bet as far as therapists and healthcare (I'll look and post tomorrow).

How far are the twin cities from you? That was one place I was told to go to. Madison and Milwaukee were the other two cities.

MA won't cover transition costs. You will have to make sure it is coded differently like depression. I could get mine covered but I pay cash and it isn't that bad. Not that I'm rich but the sliding scale thing makes it tolerable. If you have to figure in your transportation costs that could change your plan on where to go. Why does in sound like your near Ladysmith?
