Thanx, SOC. None of my docs have seen the NK numbers, and frankly, I don't want to waste the money, because I doubt they know what any of it means. I've seen two ME/CFS specialists. One of them was a senile idiot who refused to look at my lab work -- he said, "I don't do that." The other was Dr. Chia, who is like a hammer looking for a nail -- he has already decided that ME/CFS is exclusively caused by an enterovirus, and he's not interested in looking at other pieces of the puzzle. So I only had one appointment with him, because that kind of narrow thinking isn't helpful to me.
Gingergrrl, I guess that sort of answers your question. Dr. Chia is in Torrance, so he's So Cal. But he's far too narrow in his view, IMO, to be able to treat me adequately. I did try his Equilibriant supplement for a couple months, and it didn't do anything for me. The other options he gave me were IVIG and Interferon, neither of which I was keen on. So I didn't continue seeing him. He ran some of the tests (all the enterovirus ones, plus the IgGs), but honestly, my testing has come from an assortment of doctors. Basically, I've looked into what I need to get tested, and then gone to whatever doctor du jour I've been seeing and asked them for the lab order. Then after running a few tests, they get sick of it and refuse to do any more testing, and I'm on to the next doctor. It's extremely frustrating, cause I feel like a criminal, just trying to get my health adequately assessed.
I have one doctor (who doesn't really wanna do testing on me) who I'm seeing via Skype. She charged an arm and a leg for the first appointment, but she was the first person who actually looked at all my tests/history and thought about it for more than 30 seconds. But again, without being able to do more testing, I feel like my hands are tied. At this point, I'm pursuing treatments that don't really require a doctor, because I feel like every doctor is a blind man just looking at one part of the elephant, and they seem to want me to limit my focus to whatever their limitations are, too.
