Hi

I'm trying to find a medical provider for a patient. Does anyone know of a medical provider who is near Lebanon, New Hampshire including maybe eastern Vermont or north-western New Hampshire?

@GG - Have you heard of a Lynn Durand in Concord? He's at the Center for Integrative Medicine
http://www.concordhospital.org/doctors/profile/lynn-durand/

Yes, I saw him when 1st becoming ill, I don't think he practices anymore (think he caught lyme, but not sure if that is why he does not practice anymore), his wife did, but she might not anymore as well, or not taking new patients.

Was thinking MA CFIDS might have some info, but it looks like they refer you to other sites.

Edit: What do patients in VT do? I go to MA for my specialist.

@GG - thanks for the feedback. The recommendation for Durand came from MassCFIDS. I called the number at the site above and the answering service said they still have a Dr. Durand on staff. Will need to follow up Monday. What did you think of him?

Also, thanks for the other link. Interesting.

I've also reached out to people in Vermont and others in Mass. I'll let you know what I learn.

Seemed like Dr. Durand did not have much to offer me after some time, supportive, which helped with holding down a job with documentation of my disability. But did not seem like he kept up on research, which most Drs probably don't. I suggested Valtrex after reading about it on this site probably, he prescribed it, didn't help me, I saw him 10 years ago!

DR Jane Sullivan Durand MD is his wife, think she still practices. I know lady that sees her, or used to see her?

Looks like they practiced in the same place, so one phone call should do it :)

I live in Connecticut. Have you ever been to a Mass Cfids event? I have a feeling we met at one of those

Thanks for the extra info, BTW.
