IMMUNOLOGIST

[Guest guest]

How do you find an immunologist?

I've been to two hematoligists. They did a bone marrow aspirate on me. They

found out that my bone marrow is good but when things leave that area and enter

my bloodstream they found out the white cells are being eaten up.

I have my CFS specilalist and that's how I found out I have low blood volume.

Sorry for the large type, buy I have a vision deficit.

It seems to me you might want to have an immunologist explore for bacteria vs

virus. I had that done one when I had been on antiB's for 2 yrs. and he finally

put me on one that would stop the symptoms. I've been investigating the

Mycoplasmas, and may need to return to him, as reg. docs don't seem to " get it. "

Do you know of any tests that you can check to see what virus or bacteria is

in your body?

Also what kinds of illnesses cause virus or bacteria?

I read about Casey Fero but I thought his heart was bad?

I think he had mycarditis? Something like that?

My one problem is low blood volume and that's where alot of my fatigue comes

in because it pools at the bottom and then when I lay down it has a chance to

flow properly.

I didn't want people to misread what I wrote. The Cardiologist is calling me

this week. The office was closed today because of the holiday. Also they're

excellent at calling back every single time.

The reason the Cardiologist said a couple years was because it was just a

trace. That's what he meant by that. Cardiologists's can figure out by echo's

whether it's serious or not.

I didn't mean for anyone to get a wrong idea that he doesn't want to see me.

This is the million dollar question... in July 2005 my doctor said to

go to a 'genuine' immunologist, a physician who practices specifically

immunology, not an allergist.

I could only find 1 outside of NYC and this doctor would not see me

because of my insurance. When I said I'd pay out of my own

pocket, 'no' was the reply. My search continues with no hope in sight.

Please let me know what avenues you take to find an actual

immunologist.

Good Luck, PJ
