    Looking for updated info on doctors in Syracuse

    I am now in the position of having to find a new GP in the Syracuse, NY area. Having noticed that the only thread addressing this, http://forums.prohealth.com/forums/index.php?threads/drs-in-syracuse-ny-area.113943/ is too old to be of any use. Does anyone have any recommendations? And also, is...

    Looking for CFS/ME Docs in Central Texas (Austin or San Antonio)

    Sorry for the delay. I've been having a harder and harder time all along - spending a greater amount of time trying to get even a fraction of the work that needs to get done at home to keep up with the basics. And at work? Things are not going well there at all. Anyway, yes, I did finally get...

    Looking for CFS/ME Docs in Central Texas (Austin or San Antonio)

    Will do; you too. Wow! Supply and demand I guess. And no wonder these specialists are no longer taking insurance (as I saw noted in another of your posts). Probably able to see more patients after cutting out the clutter and hastle.

    Looking for CFS/ME Docs in Central Texas (Austin or San Antonio)

    Just an update here. The appointment I spoke of was supposed to be two weeks ago. I had to cancel it to go away to a funeral for a family member in upstate NY. Sitting in those cramped seats for the hours it takes to fly up there and back was torture. The doctors office returned my call last...

    Looking for CFS/ME Docs in Central Texas (Austin or San Antonio)

    Recieved a call from Dr. Salvato's office this week. Wait time for first appointment: 6 weeks. I'm happy with that. Actually waited longer than that between a referal and the refusal to be seen by the neuromuscular dept at Baylor. At least I am now more organized with my health history...

    Looking for CFS/ME Docs in Central Texas (Austin or San Antonio)

    How do I get in to see Dr. Patricia Salvato!! I can't even seem to get Maria the new patient coordinator to call me back! If she's as good as I hear, even if her staff is not responsive to our needs, I don't care I can't take this back and forth feeling of I'm fine I don't need any hlep with...

    New here, and already found help

    Thank you, SOS. As it turned out the Fatigue Center was closed down. :( There are alternatives about 3-4 times the distance away. But with the family schedule and only one vehicle, and the trouble I have driving longer distances, I'm leaning more toward just finding a rheumatologist near me...

    New here, and already found help

    I am new to this forum (first post) and for that matter, relatively new to the world of this wide-spread muscular pain and debilitating fatigue. In the last four years or so, I've been seen by so many doctors and tested for so many different things. I may even have in my medical record a...
