Im scheduled to see Dr. Chia on Monday for my first consultation with him. I scheduled my appointment in may, so about three-four months. He requires a diagnosis of cfs and a referral from your pcp.

I made an appointment with dr. Meirleir today so the wait time currently is a little over a month.
Gonna make an appointment with Myhill tomorrow and also with Chia. Or maybe i'll wait until i have seen dr. Meirleir and my new gastroenterologist. I want to have the biopsies from my stomach, small intestine and colon tested for enteroviruses by Chia's lab.
Does anyone know if Chia's lab can also check for mycobacteria and other pathogens in the biopsies?
