Re: new to list what kind of doc for mito

[Guest guest]

Neurologists, endocrinoligists and geneticists are more likely to

know something about mito, but the disease really does not fit

neatly into any one speciality. This is one of the problems, both

for diagnosis and ongoing treatment. Most mito patients end up with

a team of doctors to deal with different aspects. Regardless of

speciality, you will need to find a doctor with a particular

interest in mito. Otherwise it is very difficult to get an adequate

workup for diagnosis.
