Hi! I am new here and new to using forums so it is hard for me to navigate. My friend @debored set me up here and mentioned it was a good place to ask for advice. I am struggling with CFS and other chronic illness issues and am fairly alone in life, other than my partner. I live in Los Angeles county and have two appointments that I am looking forward to - with Dr. Chheda at the Center for Complex Diseases in April, and with Dr. John Chia in May 2020 (though I hope I can get it moved up by getting labs done for him) - but am looking to establish care in my area that can help me improve and establish a baseline quality of life in the meantime. As it is I spend most of my time bedridden. I have not been able to find competent doctors in my area, and my current PCP will not prescribe saline or order any specific testing I've asked for (I mentioned being concerned about CCI to him), but just prescribes me antidepressants. Does anyone have recommendations for local doctors and/or specialists who are competent to deal with CFS and chronic illness, and ideally who take Blue Cross insurance?
I am very desperate, scared, and in need of help and advice. Thank you so much for your consideration!
