I've read many of your posts regarding your experiences at OMI. Thank you both SO much for sharing your experiences with us.
I'm currently considering becoming a patient at OMI (my first ever visit to a CFS specialist) and am wondering what your opinions are now, a few years since starting treatment at OMI.
The reason I'm asking is because I don't live in CA and don't have insurance that will pay for my care there, so it's going to be literally thousands of dollars out of pocket for me to do this. This is a HUGE expenditure for me, and something I really cannot afford, unless it's very likely to make a difference in my functional abilities and/or quality of life (I've been homebound for the last year).
I know that you both had insurance that covered a lot of your testing and medications at the time. But if you had to pay for everything out of pocket, do you think that your treatment at OMI has been worth thousands of dollars? Looking back, is there anything you would like to have done differently?
Thanks
