Looking for CFS/ME Doctor in NW Chicago Suburbs, Schaumburg/Roselle area.

Hopefully someone on these boards has had some good experiences with someone here. I've already been through 2 dozen regular Doctors and 2 immunologists and none of them have helped other than to put me on Cymbalta which made my life hell and never again will I go on it.

I was hoping to go on and try anti-virals because tested pos for Ebv/Hsv-6/Mycoplasma, but no one will prescribe it for me, its literally like these Doctors won't listen to me even though I bring scientific studies and reports.

So hopefully someone has some success with a Doctor in the NW Suburbs/Schaumburg/Roselle areas.

Thanks guys, lots of Love and healing to everyone here. 'When' I find success in figuring this out, I will share my healing here with others

So they were willing to test you, but not to treat you? :grumpy:
Yup. When you get an "immunologist" who mostly does allergies, then you become a unicorn, a myth. This guy has zero clue, barely can understand his english, and treats me like I don't know what I'm talking about and won't answer any of my questions in detail even though I show up with scientific studies.

So he puts me on Cymbalta which was pure hell, and all I wanted was to give Anti-Viral Therapy a try, nut No he won't prescribe it and won't give a reason why. So its no use with him.
