Re: Success treating Firbo?

[Guest guest]

Meg

asked: “I

am wondering if anyone has been to a Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Center (any

chance the one in Seattle?) If so, what tests did they run?”

I’ve

got Chronic Fatigue syndrome and participate on another extremely active email

list – the fibrom fibromyalgia list. Several folks on that list have tried

the Fibro and Fatigue centers. They are extremely expensive and require all

payment up front. Much of what they do is not covered by insurance.

The

general consensus on the fibro list is that the centers aren’t that great

and really aren’t worth the money. But there is a magnificent fibro and

chronic fatigue doctor in Salt Lake City (which is sort of close to Seattle):

Dr. Lucinda Bateman. She’s one of the top 2-3 fms/cfs docs in the country.

I see her (I fly down from Anchorage) and she is really fabulous. Superior

diagnostic skills, knowledge, and intuition, very empathetic – but pragmatic

also. Not smarmy. Just right.

Hey Steph, Can you send me the link for the Fibro group? When I searched for it, a bunch of groups came up. Also, I would love to know how your Dr. Bateman is treating you.Thanks! Kesler wrote: Meg asked: “I am wondering if anyone has been to a Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Center (any chance the one in
