Hi,
I have pretty much never gone down conventional medical route since becoming ill.
I have an appointment scheduled with a random doctor at a low-income clinic, which I am tempted to cancel, since I fear the usual "hunh?" regarding ME.
However, if they are offering tests for free or low cost, I was hoping people could suggest here things to test for that I might have not done yet with regular blood work.
Since I have never looked at cytokines or tested for lymphoma or measured NK cells etc, are there tests for these or other things a clinic doctor might be able to run for me?
What things should I be looking for, or looking to rule out as co-morbids?
I think, if I keep the appointment, I will have to come with a list of requests rather than relying on the doctor I end up with to think of them.
Any and all input would be appreciated
