Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I know we have a number of members in Missouri and I'm hoping one of y'all can give me a bit of help here. I have a friend who lives in the Springfield MO area and is in desperate need of some decent doctors!!!! They've been fooling around for 8 years and can't come up with a diagnosis. Her PCP doesn't want to refer her to any specialists (perhaps that would require him to admit he doesn't know what's wrong?) and is beginning to tell her it's all in her mind. (Oh yeah ...... how many of us have been handed that line before!) We don't know what the problem is but blood tests have consistently indicated her inflammation levels are through the roof. She has RUQ pain, nausea, blood sugar very unstable, and last night had a very rough night with some seizure activity. The friend watching her kids said Cathy & her hubby have been at the hospital all day and she hadn't heard anything yet. From her hospitalization of a couple of weeks ago, she now has a GI dr. who wanted to start doing adrenal testing today but that's been put on hold until this current crisis is under control. Can anyone provide names of a decent PCP, Internal Med. Dr., GI Dr., and perhaps endocrinologist? Many thanks to all.
