Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I just wanted to thank everyone for your support and for giving me such great info. I did not know what ME was until today, and it sounds EXACTLY like what I have. I have been waiting for a diagnosis beyond CFS and Fibro and my doctor (who thank God know that these are very real conditions) and I have always known there was something else, a bigger picture, going on, and have never been able to fit me into a diagnosis and a treatment beyond just treating symptoms. I did a lot of research today and was able to find some info on doctors that may be able to help me that are not that far from me. I am in one of the worst flares I have ever been through in my life, and really need help now. I am so scared that I will end up back on my cane and loose the life I have been able to build in the time my symptoms have eased up. Even at my best I cant live alone or support myself. I really need disabilty, I got denied when I first applied last year but I am thinking about getting a lawyer and re-applying since I am disabled and my parents should not have to foot the bill because of it. Thank God for them. Does anyone have advice on this matter? Know a good doctor in the New England area? Thanks again everyone for helping me not feel alone and for the great information!! Blessings, Dr. and the kids - , Etnie, and Magoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 No CFS doctors in New England except the Fibro and Fatigue Center in Norwalk, Ct. if you are anywhere near there. I have not heard anything good orbad about the doctor who runs the clinic there although the clinics overall had a good reputation. I live in the Boston area and am trying to get my PCP to write a referral to go to the FFC clinic in Philadelphia. The doctor there will do phone consults. I guess the dr. in Ct. isn¹t comfortable with that forn of treatment. I even joined 3 New England yahoo groups for CFS and asked what doctors they were seeing and not 1 response. There is a Dr. Enlander in NYC who treats CFS but I don¹t know much about him. If you find a doctor in New England please let me know.
