[Guest guest]

Hi Anne.

I'm in Niagara Falls,Ont.--yep, Canada! There's a top-notch doc in Ottawa.

His name is Dr. Hyde. I have an online buddy seeing him now and if U'd like

me to give her U'r addy, she will contact U. She has emailed with others on

this list before who wanted info on Dr Hyde.

Also, are U aware there's a Canadian list? This friend I'm speaking of and I

are both on it. It deals with Canadian issues, which, like U said, is alot

diff than American.

Let me know.....Sue

P.S. My online buddy lives in Montreal! Wow, eh? LOL

Hi Anne,

there are other good CFS doctors here in Ottawa:

Dr. Armstrong, environmental doctor. She only sees patients

with chronic illness. Very knowledgeable, very good. 613-721-9800

Dr. Ragan, family doctor. He is in contact with Dr. Cheney, Dr.

Teitelbaum, Hemex,... 613-523-4874

Dr. Francisco -Mitoma, immunologist/virologist. He helped me a lot

with my disability claim. 613-236-6393

They are all competent, all very nice and full of compassion.

You can also check this site; this is an organization in Ottawa that is

setting up the first health center in Canada for CFS and FM.

Hi Anne,

I live in Oakville, ON (outside Toronto). My CFS/EI doctor is dr.

Jaconello, in Toronto. 416-463-2911

Another Dr. in the area is Tick, who is involved with an Immunocal

Patient Trial/study in the Toronto area. She is apparently familiar with

much of the latest treatments and research. ONe of these days I'm going to

see if I can book an appt. I think she has a long waiting list.

Anyone in Canada?

I wrote on this site 5 weeks ago when my pediatrician indicated that he

believed my four year old son Cayden has . I have been reading since,

although I was starting to think that maybe we were wrong as each week was

passing without a " episode " , even though I have history dating back for

almost a year now. I was hopeful, but then today, he has started to fever,

though only slightly so far, and has been complaining of a headache, as per

ususal. I gave him his first ever dose of prednisone tonight, and I will see

his pediatrician tomorrow, but I want to be prepared. Can anyone give me a

brief list of PFS's that I should ask to have testing on. Also, is anyone

else on this site from Canada, and if so, do we have any testing groups,

specialists etc. that you know of? I am from the Edmonton area and am

curious if there are rheumatologists and CIH, etc. here. Please advise.

Thanks to all of you for the valuable information over the past several

weeks. It has been a tremendous resource and somewhat of a support group.

Greatly appreciated.
