How does one know which kind of dr to go to when we have

so many weird symptoms?

,

This is a great question. I'm glad you threw this out there.

Rheumatologists: body pain, arthritis issues.

ENT: Ear, nose and throat--Sinuses.

Immunologists: Specialize in auto-immune issues.

Cardiologist: Heart issues

Gynecologists: Womens gyn issues.

Ophthalmologists: Eye issues.

Allergists: Asthma, sinus, allergies.

Urologists: Bladder and urinary health.

Neurologists: Brain, memory, cognition, balance, coordination issues. Peripheral neuropathies and small nerve fiber neuropathies.

Primary MD. General health issues, should be willing to refer to you any of the specialists.

Pulmonologists: Lung, respiratory, issues.

Chiropractor: Whole integrated body imbalances due to spinal issues. Headaches, dizziness- pain in the neck and muscle spasms.

Physical medicine MD: Rehabilitation for those who have become bed or wheelchair bound.

Physical Therapist: Exercise coordinator with your body limitations in mind-- directed by Primary MD or Physical Medicine or Neurologist or Rheumi.

Psychiatrist: Great for Neuropsych issues of memory loss, depression secondary to sarc, pain control and to help with instruction in dealing with living with disability.

Dentist: BAD BAD MAN.

DO. Doctor of Osteopath. is an MD as well as Osteo--deals with neurological issues, and will often times use chiropractic techniques and naturopathic medicines. Many people like them as a primary MD.

Well, gang, is there any more that I missed?

Hope it helps,

Tracie,

Wouldn't it be great if we could have one doc that would do all that?

How about a psychorheumointeralcario....you get the drift. Would be a

heck a lot cheaper with the copays too.

Boy could we have fun with that one! Actually, in the "old" days-- we used to have one MD that did it all-- they called themself "general" practicioners. (sp)

Now no one wants to cross the other "specialists" by stealing the show-- so no one knows crap about any part of the body other than their area of expertise.

Reminds me of a joke-- It is better to be a professional than to be an expert. This is because an expert is just a "past drip under pressure." (ex spirt).
