Looking for a CFS Doc in MD

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was recently diagnosed with CFS and am looking for a doctor in MD.

My PCP doesn't seem to believe it exists and I am really stumped about

who I should try to go and see. If anyone has any suggestions, I

would be grateful for them!

Thanks!

Hi,

My suggestion is to do a search online and find out what CFS support

groups are about you or in your state. Then either message them or

give them a ring (or go to one of their CFS support meetings and ask

people there). Ask them for doctors who specialise in CFS or those they

recommended.

Its extremely important to find a doctor who has some understanding of

this illness or who is willing and eager to work with you, keep up with

the research (either you or them) and try out various things as this is

no simple, easily dealt with illness. Over time unfortunately one can

end up with many more symptoms coming in (There is now 67 different

symptoms I get or have had cause of this, try dumping that onto a

doctor who dont know me or about CFS), so its good to find a good

doctor perferably one who specialises in it, early in the peice who

will be there to help and support you.

If you find a doctor who believes in it and is willing to take an

interest and work with you but has no experience. You should do okay

as there is heaps of stuff online with suggestions on how one can go

about treating this. I suggest to not only keep an eye on things on

message boards like this one, but also check out things like the Zero-

Based Protocol http://lassesen.com/cfids/ZeroBasedProtocol.htm for some

more ideas (it has a treatment plan), Dr Cheneys (he's a famous CFS

doctor) suggestions etc (there are many about the place, just try

things till you find things which seem to help)

best wishes to you...
