We are new to the area and I would sincerely appreciate feedback from anyone who can recommend a physician in this area who has some knowledge and understanding of CFS/POTS, even if it is just someone you have heard of from others - MD, ANP, PA-C, naturopath, etc.

Thank you!

Cherlyn,

Check out Dr. Karen Vrchota--http://www.karenvrchota.com/

She is knowledgeable and understands CFS very well, but like so many good doctors what she prescribes for you may or may not help. She is thorough and dedicated.

Best wishes,
Sushi

Check out the Patient Advocate. His CFS daughter lives in Minneapolis and might have some suggestions on his blog.
