Dr William Weir in London
A good subset of his patients recover
Hi Jesse - I've heard good reports about him but what evidence is there that a good number recover? Which of his treatments lead to this?
Thank you - I'll look into Dr Weir. Yes looking for a CFS doctor - I became ill four years ago and improved alot but now am housebound. So any help appreciated
Dr William Weir in London
A good subset of his patients recover
Hi all,
Anyone got advice on best doctor in or near London? Even Europe considered. Many thanks.
Thank you all for the responses. I did see Dr Charles Forsyth - and his focus was from a nutrutional aspect. Forsyth found nothing concrete but I did recover significantly within two years - I trialled sups, gradually increased exertion and rested a lot. In July I tested positive for glandular fever during a 2 week illness , so now I would like to see a doctor who focuses more on the current research / viral aids. The two suggested, Weir and Bansal look like good bets - anyone know about their waiting periods?
Dr Weir is by all accounts, excellent, but you shouldn't throw stuff like this out here without evidence, it's misleading to patients.
@Countrygirl what did Dr Weir do then exactly if you don't mind me asking? I am trying decide who to go and see too.
